The Confederation of Canadian Unions celebrates International Women’s Day, and remembers our founder, Madeline Parent, who was an original member of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women.
As the first labour federation in Canada to call for equal pay for work of equal value, the CCU pledges to continue to support and advocate for equality, freedom from harassment, and economic security for women in Canada and around the world.
The struggle for women’s rights continues.
