MEMBERSHIP DISCUSSIONS, CONSULTATIONS AND DELIBERATIONS
A citizens’ assembly is a long-form deliberative process where a demographically representative group of randomly selected volunteers study an issue in order to make one or more consensus recommendations to governments and decision-makers on behalf of a wider community.
Over several days of presentations, discussion, and collective consultation in October 2024, our 33 assembly members endeavored to address workers' ability to influence decisions and have a say in problem-solving at work, a matter referred to as "Worker Voice." When incorporated into workplace operations, this has benefits for workers, companies, and society more broadly, and yet, there is currently a significant gap between workers' expected say and their actual say in the workplace, referred to as the "Voice Gap."
Our assembly meetings, convened in both English and French, in-person and via Zoom, considered a range of institutional reforms and proposed ideas, then worked toward establishing the right mix of policies and institutional arrangements/solutions to meet workers' future needs.
The results of our National Assembly on Workplace Democracy, including the assembly members’ recommendations, can be reviewed in their entirety in our NAWD Final Report.
