In the ongoing struggle to end violence against women, much has changed since December 6, 1989 and, unfortunately, much has stayed the same. On that day, 31 years ago, a gunman entered L’Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal and separated the women from the men yelling “I hate feminists.” He then systematically murdered 13 students and 1 worker – women who were shot dead solely because they were women.
Your bargaining committees are wrapping up a critical week in this round of negotiations.
