CALM’s members produce newsletters, websites, posters, videos, and brochures that reach as few as fifty and as many as a hundred thousand people. We have nearly 250 members in all regions and sectors, from coast to coast.
Unions not affiliated to the Canadian Labour Congress, labour organizations outside Canada, and non-profit, membership-based organizations can also join CALM.
The cost of membership is based on membership size and starts at $125 a year. CALM members are asked to send a copy of their newsletter to the CALM editor, and they give CALM permission to use material for which they own the copyright.
Subscribers
For $325 per year, labour-friendly organizations and individuals can receive CALM services. They can’t enter the CALM Awards.
