DIRECTIONS 10.06: Poster for IWD 2010 sent to local unions

Vol. X No. 6 Feb. 15, 2010

Poster for IWD 2010 sent to local unions


A brand new poster developed by the UFCW Canada National Office has been issued to mark International Women’s Day (IWD) on March 8, 2010. The new design has been printed and sent to local unions, and is also available as a download at www.ufcw.ca/women.

“International Women’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate the many contributions of women to our society, many of which are too often overlooked,” says UFCW Canada National President Wayne Hanley. “More than half of UFCW Canada members are women, and it is very important that we remind ourselves of that on an ongoing basis, to ensure the needs and concerns of all members are addressed.”
