Buttons

This button was part of the Toronto District Council of the Canadian Union of Public Employees campaign against privatization of public services. This campaign was of concern to women, as many of these services involved women, both as workers and as people who were receiving these services. Keeping them public would mean a greater possibility of maintaining wages and benefits, as well as the quality of the services.

"No Justice, No Peace" was the slogan of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) strike in 1996. OPSEU was one of many unions to mobilize against the Harris government's so-call "Common Sense" revolution, which drastically downsized government, decimated public programmes, and cut equity and social justice initiatives. These years had a significant impact on women and other equality-seeking groups.
