It’s election year in Ontario. That means it’s time to get ready for Steelworkers Vote schools.

Steelworkers are involved in politics because laws and policies have a big impact on our union, our workplaces and our communities. These schools are great opportunities to learn about politics, build a network of engaged Steelworkers and volunteer for the NDP.
