CLC Ontario Women's School - July 14-19, 2013

Working together, unions have made a difference for women – from family leave to protection from discrimination, harassment and violence at work to pay equity and reproductive rights. Union women have led our efforts to promote women’s equality. Now, more than ever, we need the voices of women as we defend the gains we’ve made and work to fill the gaps. This first-ever CLC Ontario Women’s School will bring established and emerging women leaders from diverse unions together for a week of sisterhood and solidarity, sharing and skills-building.  Learn more..
