With workers' rights and the labour movement in the news at the federal level, and with Labour Day on the horizon, we're joined on the Apple Box by ILWU Canada President, and prominent labour community voice, Rob Ashton. First elected Vice President of ILWU Canada in 2012, Rob became President in 2016, and now represents 17,000 workers in BC and Saskatchewan. Also serving as a Vice President for the BC Federation of Labour, Rob sits down to talk to us about what it means to show up in the union world. Pull up an Apple Box, and let's talk!
