In early 1997 a group of Canadian unemployed, marginally employed, and students came to the conclusion that
the jobs and income crisis facing thousands of Canadians was not of their own making.
They formed the Marginalized Worker's Action League (M.W.A.L.) in order to provide a means
of taking proactive measures to pressure all levels of government and business to drop their
stance on blaming the victim.
M.W.A.L. does not believe in competing with other left-wing organizations and holds
as a principle that other groups doing similar or the same actions should be welcomed
as allies and it must be kept in mind that our enemies are one and the same.
Wherever time and people allow, M.W.A.L. will work in coalitions while maintaining our
autonomy as a group. |
