CLC Canadian Council – #DoneWaiting Campaign

The CLC Canadian Council is pleased to announce that we have launched our powerful new campaign for women’s economic justice, #DoneWaiting . Our International Women’s Day Statement is available here, and the campaign website is live at www.donewaiting.ca.

#DoneWaiting demands our federal government take action to end sexual harassment and violence, fix the child care crisis and end wage discrimination. However, we cannot be successful in our demands without your active support.

National Day of Action to Protect Pensioners – Wed. February 21

Let your MPs know that you will not tolerate Canadian workers having their pensions Norteled or Searsed if their companies ever file for CCAA or BIA. It is doubly important to lobby your MPs if they are Liberal or even Conservative as they are the impediments to overcoming this unconscionable treatment of working class Canadians.

Tell them to support and pass pending private member bills C-372 and C-384. Feel free to have your members sprint and take copies of the attached pension report with them to give to their MPs or to use as talking points.
