Peterborough & District Labour Congress

United Way and the Canadian Labour Congress have been partners since 1988 – working together to strengthen communities across Canada. The partnership developed around a common interest: ensuring that workers and working families have the support they need to succeed.

Unions throughout the City and County of Peterborough are longstanding and generous contributors to United Way’s annual campaign, encouraging members to volunteer and give. But the partnership goes much deeper than just financial support. Labour representatives advocate for those in need in their communities. They serve on United Way boards and committees.

Chartered by the Canadian Labour Congress since 1956, the Peterborough and District Labour Council is the voice of organized labour in Peterborough in both the city and county. Our affiliated unions come from the traditional manufacturing sector in Peterborough and the public sector, including education, health care, federal, and provincial and municipal governments.
