This October, as we mark Women’s History Month, PSAC celebrates the women of Canada’s labour movement who, for generations, have come together and empowered themselves in the fight for justice. The women of our unions have played an important role in shaping Canada’s history for the better. PSAC is proud of the women in our union who have been on the front lines of this work. From the ground-breaking strike by clerical workers in 1980, to our decades-long struggles for pay equity, our union stands up for women’s rights.
