If you are concerned about the looming and egregious pay equity changes which will remove the right of public sector women workers to make claims on pay equity, send a letter to your senator to try to prevent the senate from passing this bill. For a list of senators, follow this link:
FYI, the liberals have supported this bill, the NDP and BLOC opposed it. It is part of the budget motion. Below is a sample letter you can use if you wish.
Don't use the budget bill to eliminate pay equity
If Bill C-10 passes it will...
* Allow the Conservative Government to remove pay equity complaints from the Canadian Human Rights Commission.
"Canadian Human Rights Commission does not have jurisdiction to deal with pay equity complaints in the public service." (Excerpt Bill C-10)
*Forces individual women to make pay equity claims without any support from their Union and would impose a $50,000 fine on Unions for assisting them.
"The bargaining agent...is strictly forbidden to encourage or assist her in filing a complaint, and is liable to a $50,000 fine if it does."
(Excerpt Bill C-10)
* Allow Private sector workers to continue to complain and defend themselves on pay discrimination through the Canadian Human Rights Commission while Public sector workers will no longer have that option.
I am asking you as one of the N.B. senators to vote to remove the Public Sector Equitable Compensation Act from Bill C-10. Pay Equity is a Human Right and Human Rights are not negotiable!
