December 6 is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women and marks the 25th anniversary of the Montréal Massacre, in which 14 women were targeted and murdered at l’École Polytechnique de Montréal because they were women.
The majority of CUPE Ontario members are women and we have a proud history, as sisters and brothers, of standing together for the rights of all women. In workplaces, we have negotiated contracts containing anti‐harassment language and pay equity provisions. We mounted a multi‐year political action campaign to achieve legislation protecting workers from workplace violence and harassment. And we are continuing our work to break down barriers to employment equity and to ensure safe workplaces. Our history of strong women leaders has built CUPE Ontario and the labour movement into a powerful voice for equality.
In our communities, we can all help to end the violence.
