• WHERE: YWCA, 535 HORNBY STREET, VANCOUVER, 2ND FLR BOARDROOMS

Come on out! Get informed! Get involved! If you think that unions have outlived their usefulness, think about this:

Over the past 15 years, workers now find:

• our society promotes a culture of working unpaid overtime
• permanent jobs continue to be contracted out
• term employment is epidemic
• new jobs tend to be lower paid and in the service sector
• a rise in part-time and precarious employment
• public services continue to be privatized
• burnout and cynicism amongst workers has increased
• a decline in real wages and standard of living
• people are working longer and harder to keep afloat
• a growing gap between the lower/middle classes and the rich

And the list goes on…

Support your Union – Get involved!
