PSI affiliate NUPGE, National Union of Public and General Employees, has released a new leaflet entitled Women, Stephen Harper and the Economic Crisis. The leaflet examines the issues facing Canadian women during the current economic crisis.
The lack of an early childhood education and child care program, the inequities that exist for women in the Employment Insurance (EI) program and the pay gap between women and men have left Canadian women struggling long before the economic recession began. The Conservative government’s Federal Budget 2009 which was to respond to the economic crisis provided no support for women.

Yes I do agree to it, but this recession effects every one, but strange to listen by the way Canadian women are effected.
