From the AngryWorkers site:

“AngryWorkers, a small political collective, have spent six years organising in London’s industrial backyard, mainly in the food manufacturing and logistics sector. This book is about their experiences as they try and find new ways of building class power in tough times. It is essential reading for anyone who is grappling with the question: ‘what next for working class politics and revolutionary strategy?’”

CUPE 3903 Mentorship Session
2026-09-10 13:00 - 14:30 | CUPE 3903 Office (143 Atkinson), 96 The Pond Road, North York, ON, M3J 2S5, Canada
Are you looking to connect with your union community in a way that goes beyond paperwork and policy? Join Ari and Ayesha for our very first CUPE 3903 Mentorship Session!

We want to move past the traditional, transactional university routine and truly get to know our members. We will start with a brief, welcoming overview of CUPE 3903 and then transition into a collaborative, hands-on space featuring a collective bead-making activity and a world-making activity centred on sensory encounters with Mud. Through these tactile, grounding materials, we will explore the concept of relational accountability—the deeply held belief that we are fundamentally responsible to, and shaped by, our relationships with each other, our community, and the Land we inhabit. Before we organize together, let’s slow down, share space, and build a foundation of care. We can’t wait to gather and build something beautiful together!

Date: Thursday, September 10, 2026

Time: 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM (90 minutes)

Location: CUPE 3903 Office

Food: Refreshments and food will be provided (be sure to let us know your dietary needs on the form!)

Spaces are limited due to workshop materials, so please reserve your spot. Fill out the form linked here to register for this event.
