OPSEU/SEFPO Art Gallery of Ontario workers to receive Traditional Labour Arts Award
After a month-long strike with a picket line that attracted widespread attention and media coverage because of their artistic creativity, Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) workers from OPSEU/SEFPO Local 535 will be presented with the Traditional Labour Arts Award for their artistic approach to labour action during their strike. AGO workers harnessed their artistic power on the line in March and April of 2024, with performance art, videos, costumes, and many picket signs that were themselves original works of art!
