On March 8th we celebrate International Women’s Day. It’s a day to remember our accomplishments, where we were and what struggles we continue to have. As your district director, I will continue to fight for inclusion, diversity, equal pay, and safety for all. Our women’s committees have stood strong in fighting the challenges to make changes within the labour movement. I ask the brothers within our district to stand side by side with their sisters as they continue to pave the way for our next generation of activists. I am proud of all our sisters for stepping up within our union and the broader community. As your director, I encourage new members within our union to get involved and have your voices heard. Make a difference by:
Within our district, our membership is made up of 40+ % women. We have women working within many sectors, including mining, steel, security, health care, education and more. We join with women around the globe to celebrate International Women’s Day. We must all remember: Education is Knowledge and Knowledge is Power! In solidarity, Marty Warren
