THEU-CSN is a strong union driven by hospitality workers in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

What IS

THEU-CSN

The Toronto Hospitality Employees Union was born out of the need to create a strong union for the hospitality workers of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

Working with the CSN and the high standards won in Quebec, we understood that the time was right to grow our own autonomous union, based right here in Toronto.  We wanted to work with the CSN but focus on our specific needs, hopes, and dreams, and run by the hospitality workers in Toronto.

Our union’s constitution and founding documents reflect these aims. THEU-CSN members are at the centre of the decision-making process. Everything we do flows from the decisions made by the membership. Our structures are both democratic and transparent. And our autonomy is guaranteed.

About the CSN

THEU is affiliated with the CSN (Confédération des syndicats nationaux / Confederation of National Trade Unions) – one of the largest trade union federations in Canada, with more than 330,000 members.

The CSN was founded more than 100 years ago. Its first major struggle was led by women working in the match-making industry in the Ottawa-Gatineau region, at a time when most unions were not interested in organizing women workers. 

Today, a hundred years later, the CSN is made up of nearly 1,600 unions. Today, the CSN provides a wide range of services and supports to more than 330,000 members across Canada.
