Women's Committee
The purpose of the TWU Local 100 Women’s Committee is to ensure equal pay for equal work, to empower women to have the confidence to seek leadership positions within their Union as well as in their workplace, to help women further the cause of all workers, male and female, and to elevate the awareness of working women’s needs, both inside and outside of the workplace. We seek to bring union members to a greater awareness of the need for better physical and mental health; to a greater understanding of financial issues, including investments and retirement planning, and to motivate women to get involved in their communities so that all women can gain more knowledge of how to obtain affordable housing or to own an affordable home.
We exist to educate, encourage and mentor women of all ages to become future leaders.Watch this space for information about our ongoing programs and initiatives in 2012.
