Vol. 5, number 12, Fall 2004

The Canadian Labour Congress is pleased to announce the issue of its new literacy poster on September 8th, 2004, International Literacy Day. The bilingual poster depicts a tree rooted in “reading the world”, embracing the many ways learning and literacy can touch our lives: at work, in the community, with our families and in our unions. Illustrated by Edmonton artist Barbara Hartmann in shades of blue, green and gold, the message Unions and Literacy: Learning for our Lives says that unions and literacy are about both learning for our whole lives and learning for the many parts of our lives. Several affiliates contributed to the CLC poster project, including CUPE, CUPW, USWA, PSAC, CAW and the AFL.
The poster is available in two sizes, 15” x 23” and 10” x 15” and as a bookmark. For more information about ordering the poster, please contact clcliteracy@clc-ctc.ca.
