Within less than two months, the New Brunswick Coalition for Pay Equity gathered approximately 3,500 signatures with a postcard campaign carrying the message: “Pay inequity makes a hole in MY budget,” in support of four private sector groups offering government-mandated services and waiting for pay equity.

“We have seen clear support across the province for pay equity payments for these four groups to begin with the 2012-2013 provincial budget,” explains Vallie Stearns, Chair of the Coalition.

“These four groups take care of the most vulnerable members of our families,” says Johanne Perron, Executive Director of the Coalition. “They are the employees of home support agencies, child care services, group homes and transition houses.”

The Coalition will be represented at the budget lock-up.

Cartes postales sur l’équité salariale livrées au Premier Ministre Alward :

UN APPUI INCONTESTABLE DE LA POPULATION

En à peine 2 mois, la Coalition pour l’équité salariale a recueilli environ 3500 signatures avec sa campagne de cartes postales portant le message « L’iniquité salariale fait un trou dans MON budget » en appui à quatre groupes du secteur privé qui offrent des services régis par le gouvernement et qui attendent des versements d’équité salariale depuis 2010.

« Il y a clairement de l’appui à travers la province pour que le gouvernement provincial verse les paiements d’équité salariale attendus par ces quatre groupes dès le budget 2012-2013 », explique Vallie Stearns, présidente de la Coalition.

« Ces quatre groupes prennent soin des personnes les plus vulnérables de nos familles », souligne Johanne Perron, directrice générale de la Coalition. « Ce sont les employées des agences de soutien à domicile, des services de garde, des résidences communautaires et des maisons d’hébergement pour femmes victimes de violence conjugale ».

La Coalition sera représentée lors du huis clos du budget provincial.
