Senators, You Are Our Last Hope

Preserve Women’s Rights & Workers Rights

Strengthen Employment Insurance
when so many are facing job losses


Hidden within the Budget Implementation Act (Bill C-10) are attacks on Women’s Rights & Workers Rights. This Bill has been passed by the House of Commons and is now in the Senate. The Senators have the power to carve out parts of the bill before they give it Royal Acclaim.

The Senators are our last hope in trying to preserve a woman’s right to pay equity, our last hope to preserve workers rights and to strengthen Employment Insurance. This Bill has been fast forwarded through the House of Commons and already in one day is on its second reading in Senate.

Call or email the Senators TODAY and ask them to do the following to the Budget Implementation Act (Bill C-10):

· Remove wage roll-backs - These undermine worker’s rights and threaten free collective bargaining

· Take out women’s right to Pay Equity - Pay Equity is a Human Right and has no place in the budget


· Strengthen Employment Insurance - With so many job losses in Canada and more in the foreseeable future the budget needs to do more to make it easier for those to receive EI
