Policy Papers

At each biennial convention, members of the Alberta Federation of Labour debate major policy papers on a wide range of issues. These papers are designed to do two things. First, they are meant to provide unions members with information about major issues of the day. And second, they are meant to help the Federation formulate policy for the future. Here are the policy papers discussed at the AFL's most recent conventions.
