In May, hundreds of Local 79 members gathered with friends and allies at the Toronto Workers Summit to set out the kind of city we want to build and a plan for how to get there. The result is the Local 79 Vision for Toronto, a set of priorities shaped by the frontline workers who keep this city running every day.
It covers affordable housing and tenant protections, a living wage for every worker, properly funded and staffed public services, safe and healthy workplaces, and the right to strike.
This vision is guiding our work through the 2026 municipal election, and we used it to assess more than 45 candidates before making our endorsements.
