The Essay Contest provides an opportunity for high school and post-secondary students to learn about the Labor Movement’s important contributions to the social, economic, and political development of our country. It also reminds students – the next generation of workers – about the importance of protecting the Labor Movement’s gains, for their own wellbeing in current and future workplaces.
Awards are offered to students in two categories: Graduating High School Seniors (class of 2025) and All Post-Secondary Students. The award amounts are: First Place - $2,000, Second Place - $1,500, Third Place - $1,000.
