International women’s day: strength and solidarity

On March 8th, we celebrate the strength, skill, and leadership of women across our union and throughout the world.

Women have long played a vital role in our workplaces – on deck, in terminals, in engineering, in trades, in catering and in our union leadership. While progress has been made, we acknowledge that barriers still exist. Gender equity, harassment, safety, respect on the job, and under-representation in certain departments are realities we continue to face.

International Women’s Day is a reminder that solidarity matters. When we stand together and lift each other up, our union grows stronger.

In solidarity, 

BCFMWU Women’s Committee
