On this episode of Essential Work, hosts Kiké and Salmaan are joined by Andria Babbington, the President of the Toronto & York Region Labour Council. She began working in hotels as a room attendant at a young age, but was soon organizing and representing other hotel workers, and became one of the youngest chief stewards in her union’s history at the age of 19. After years of activism in the labour movement, she has become the first woman of colour to sit as President in the Labour Council’s 150 year history.
Andrea talks about her early working life and the road that led her to labour organizing, and the impact of the pandemic on hotel workers, a workforce with a high proportion of immigrants, and women, especially women of colour.
