The Steelworkers' NDP Membership Drive
Well before the federal election, Jack Layton asked the Steelworkers to engage in an NDP membership drive.
Jack reminded us that because of Stephen Harper's proposed changes to the election expenses laws and the NDP's one-member-one-vote rules, it is essential for union members as individuals to become NDP members.
Individual membership in the NDP is our link between labour and politics.
Our goal is to double our union's NDP members and make Steelworkers the largest union within the NDP.

Jack Layton and the Orange Wave elected 103 MPs in the federal election, becoming Canada's Official Opposition. Since then, we have lost Jack, but we have not lost the momentum and excitement of the NDP's breakthrough.
