Action
Hang up on Abuse!
Every day, thousands of call centre workers in Canada face abuse. We need your help to empower workers to hang up on abusive calls without being fired.
The Case for Canada’s Steel Industry
Supplying the Canadian market with Canadian-made steel does not only make economic sense, it is environmentally responsible. However, due to the unfair trade practices of foreign producers, the viability of the Canadian steel industry is under threat.
Alert
Close the Gender Wage Gap!
Canadian women still take home, on average, 30% less each year than what men earn.
