53
years ago

22 October 1972,

Vancouver’s feminist movements formed the SORWUC trade union in Canada. The Association of Women Workers of the City encouraged the substitution of feminized sectors as an expression of the precariousness of traditional unions with the exclusion of the dominant sectors of women. Independent, socialist and feminist unions that remained until 1986.
