Purple ribbons for pay equity

Each year, members of the December 6th Committee of the Moncton and District Labour Council distribute purple ribbons in the greater Moncton region to raise funds for a women’s organization. This year’s campaign was once again very successful with $1,077 raised for the New Brunswick Coalition for Pay Equity. The Coalition was chosen because we strongly believe that until all women have true economic and social equality, ending the violence we experience is not possible; we need the Coalition for Pay Equity to lobby our politicians to enact pay equity legislation.

À chaque année, les membres du comité du 6 décembre du Conseil de travail de Moncton et région distribuent des rubans violets dans la grande région de Moncton afin d’amasser des fonds pour un organisme de la condition féminine. Encore une fois cette année, la campagne fut un succès, nous avons amassé 1077$ pour la Coalition pour l’équité salariale du Nouveau-Brunswick. La Coalition fut choisie car nous sommes d’avis que la fin de la violence envers les femmes ne se produira que lorsque toutes les femmes connaîtront l’égalité économique et sociale, c’est pourquoi nous avons besoin que la Coalition continue de faire pression auprès du gouvernement afin d’apporter une loi sur l’équité salariale.
