The Broadbent Institute joined with Canada's labour movement at the Canadian Labour Congress' 2023 Constitutional Convention in Montréal.

This year's convention featured PressProgress' Emily Leedham, having conversations with workers about her labour journalism at the Broadbent Institute booth on the expo floor, with Institute development coordinator, Kat Mockler.

The panel featured CUPE economist and Broadbent Fellow Angella MacEwen, Centre for the Future of Work's Jim Stanford, as well as Atkinson Fellow and 2023 Ellen Meiksins Wood Prize recipient Armine Yalnizyan.
