Equal Pay Day, 2016

Equal Pay Day, 2016
An old photo that I have never posted before.

Equal Pay Day is observed internationally on the day on which women's wages since January 1 of the year before equal men's wages for the previous year alone. This was taken in Toronto on April 19, 2016. This year the day was observed on April 9 (as someone trained in statistics I must point out that trends cannot be inferred from two observations).

This demonstration was taking place across the street from Queen's Park, the seat of the provincial parliament. I assume that's because provincial public servants were taking part as union members while their contracts banned union activity on company property.

Léopold, Gisela Plewe, Diana Australis, Steve Bucknell and 7 other people have particularly liked this photo

The Equal Pay Coalition here is taking an approach that I think should be very effective with union support, Diane.
