WORK HISTORY
Founding Member @Immigrant Workers Centre
The Immigrant Workers Centre (IWC) in Montreal is an example of the community labour approach being put into action in Canada. The IWC was founded in by a small group composed of Filipino-Canadian union and former union organizers and their activist and academic allies. The idea of the centre grew out of the experience of its two founders, who has worked as union organizers: Tess Tesalona, who still aids in the coordination of the centre, and Marco Luciano, who is an organizer with the Internationa Migrants Alliance (IMA), Migrante Alberta and other organizations in Alberta, Canada. Tess and Marco observed that much of their recruitment and education to support a union drive had to take place outside of the workplace, and, apart from personal homes, there were few places where this could happen. The idea of the centre, then, was to provide a safe place outside the workplace where workers could discuss their situations.
