Union women fought hard for equity gains over the past five decades. In the current climate of recession, cutbacks, and austerity, are we now losing ground? A very useful website from York University endeavours to bring together a community of women activists from across unions to engage in strategic discussions on how to move forward, and to develop initiatives for action.

CCPA not only does first-rate research; it also connects with the real world by putting powerful information in the hands of advocacy groups and by presenting intelligent, progressive ideas in the media. It is a BC jewel and I urge everyone to support it.
