AMPLIFYING WORKER VOICE TO INFLUENCE DECISION – MAKING IN THE WORKPLACE
2022 Morley Gunderson Lecture in Labour Economics & Industrial Relations
Panelists include Simon Pek from the University of Victoria
Moderator & CIRHR Director, Rafael Gomez, and two citizen assembly participants
The Ontario Assembly on Workplace Democracy was a first-of-its-kind effort to bring together 32 everyday citizens, selected through a democratic lottery, to collaboratively develop recommendations to improve worker voice in Ontario in the 21st century. The initiative was sponsored by the Centre for Industrial Relations and Human Resources, with leadership from CIRHR Director, Rafael Gomez, visiting researcher, Andrew Gibson, and Simon Pek from the University of Victoria. Experts, commentators, and assembly participants will discuss the Assembly’s mandate, process, and policy recommendations which will be compiled and released as a full report in early December 2022.
The Morley Gunderson Lecture in Labour Economics & Industrial Relations is jointly sponsored by the Centre for Industrial Relations & Human Resources, the Department of Economics, and Woodsworth College. It was established in 2015 in recognition of the interconnections between the three units, and named for Professor Morley Gunderson to honour his contributions to Canadian labour economics and industrial relations over the past five decades.
