The Solidarity Place Worker Education Centre is a non-profit organization committed to promoting education, advocacy, and critical services for workers in Hamilton. Our mission is to empower workers by providing them with the knowledge, resources, and support they need to advocate for more dignity and respect in their workplaces. We offer a range of services, including Know Your Rights in the Workplace training programs, various educational workshops, a low-income tax clinic, and low-cost community meeting space to help workers navigate the complex world of employment.

​

Solidarity Place has developed, designed and facilitated on-demand workshops and courses on topics like Occupational Health and Safety, Union Steward training, Gender Equity in the Workplace, Workplace Violence and Harassment, and Employability Skills and Tools in collaboration with various local unions. We have delivered these trainings in partnership with various organizations, including but not limited to the Workers Health and Safety Centre, the Sexual Assault Centre of Hamilton, the Workers Arts and Heritage Centre, McMaster University School of Labour Studies and Mohawk College. These partnerships have led to the creation of labour-specific education, historical content, Labour rights and employment standards training in sector-specific workplaces.

Our board, core group of volunteers and staff are always working towards expanding our rich network of community organizations, union affiliates, and their employers.
