RETAIL ACTION NETWORK
If you haven't heard of the Retail Action Network, we are a group of retail workers and labour activists that fight for workplace justice, increased wages, and improved conditions in retail, service and hospitality.
Come out and meet others who are interested in workplace justice and enjoy a night of delicious food, conversations, organizing, drink specials and some spine tingling entertainment which changes month to month based off of community response.
