The NB Coalition for Pay Equity wants the Alward government to prioritize a decent wage for all workers in 2012.Campaign co-president Louise Imbeault says that the work women do is often valued less than the same work done by a man.
The N.B. Coalition for Pay Equity has managed to raise over half of its $80,000 objective for its Still Standing fundraiser. A recent tour called Pay Equity Means to Me reached out to workers affected by pay equity programs initiated by the government a few years ago. The group met with 150 people from four targeted sectors in Campbellton, Moncton, Grand-Falls and Tracadie-Sheila.
Imbeault says they're working hard to get pay inequality addressed in the next provincial budget.
