Welcome to the website of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, Ontario Chapter. We are dedicated to spreading the message of the benefits of trade unionism workers of African origin. We see unionism as the great leveller in society as well as the workplace.

Under labour laws, we have seen incomes and workplace right for workers of colour, particularly Black workers rise dramatically.

Our work is far from done, but we see improvements coming with the help of good laws governing the workplace.

Our our main focus is working with communities to bring justice, fairness and dignity to all workers, whether unionised or looking for a voice at work.

Join us in our struggle to raise everyone's standard of living, as well giving all a voice at work and in society in general. Join the CBTU now!

April 22nd, 2025 is Earth Day. The Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, Ontario Canada (CBTU), the Enrich Project and the Toronto Environmental Alliance call upon labour and the community to reconnect with and build a relationship to the earth. Why? It’s simple – the extraordinary benefits of time spent outdoors should be available to all. Outdoors, is a great big, beautiful earth, where children and adults can learn about themselves through the experience of exploring in nature. One cannot love what one doesn’t know. If we want children to become adults who will care for and protect the earth, we must encourage a strong relationship with the natural world.
