Over the past number of years, the labour movement has helped to establish a number of labour arts programs including the Mayworks Festival, the OFL Banner Competition, the Workers Arts & Heritage Centre, the Artists and the Community/Workplace Program, as well as the many projects undertaken by various affiliated unions. [...] The award was established to recognize those who have made a significant contribution to the development of the arts in the labour movement or whose work has advanced the cause of working people. [...] Selection: Members of the OFL Health and Safety Committee will review all nominations and make a recommendation to the OFL Officers and the Executive Board. [...] Eligibility Criteria: The selection of an individual or group recipient of the Young Workers’ Award is based on exceptional achievement and union/community activism that incorporated and promoted the rights and empowerment of the next generation of workers. [...] The important work of Labour Councils is critical to the success of the campaigns, goals and ideals of the Federation and the Congress.
