Thirty years after the adoption of the Canadian Human Rights Act, pay equity is still only a dream for most women in Canada. Despite the fact that the Pay Equity Task Force recommended the adoption of a stand-alone proactive pay equity law, the federal government has done nothing.
We encourage you to use the PSAC template letter to write your MP, and ask them what they are doing about this situation. If you can, personalize your letter: do you have a specific experience with pay equity? If you received pay equity adjustments, how did it make a difference to you? If you are still waiting for a complaint to be heard or a case to be heard in court, tell your MP how you feel about this.
Your action counts! Together, we can put pay equity back on the agenda!
