Alert
Close the Gender Wage Gap!
Canadian women still take home, on average, 30% less each year than what men earn.

A big thank you goes out to USW Local 7619 Bargaini...
To the membership, It’s hard to put into words the gratitude that we want to express without getting into long, wordy paragraphs that we have been famous for, so here. Thank you. From the bottom of our hearts, this membership has given so much over the last 11 months, and you have always been there to support the committee, every step of the way. It was the turning point, when we were able to go back to the table with the voices of 890 people, with a 99.8% strike vote. It was at that point that Company knew that we weren’t going to be beat. We have achieved something more than a contract in 2017. We have built a group of employees that have relied on each other, protected each other, and stood up for each other. We have built a membership that was not broken. With that, the total number of employees voting was 873. The result, a ratification vote of 84.5%. Congratulations. Please, make sure that as things return to normal and with the conversations that we had at the table, we all need to move forward to work towards a better future for everyone. In Solidarity, Your United Steelworkers Local 7619 Bargaining Committee
