Dear Sisters and Brothers,

Although we need to celebrate the many achievements made towards equality, there remains a lot of work.  To this day, women are being denied equal pay for equal work and they are subject to discrimination and threats when they hold positions of power.  We can look in our own country where Alberta Premier Rachel Notley faces threats on a regular basis – because she’s a woman.

Regardless of political affiliation, religious belief or even sexual orientation, women should be treated equally, period!

Take action

PSAC Members Mark the One-Year Anniversary of the Pheonix Pay System

HALIFAX, NS – Today members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) who are employed by the Government of Canada will be taking various actions to demonstrate their frustration with the Pheonix pay system on its one year-anniversary.

Members of USGE-PSAC local 60001 in Miramichi, NB organized 3 sessions in January on the importance of Unions and the Labour Movement.  They served free lunch to over 70 of their members and showed a video on the importance of unions and the labour movement as a whole.  The event turned out to be a great success and the members said they felt proud and motivated by the educational movie they had watched.
