Yesterday's press conference highlighting the rising trend in firing pregnant women and new moms got alot of attention - as it should!
Here's a small sample of the news we created:

We will continue to keep pressure on Mr. Fonseca, the Labour minister and the Premier to make labour standard enforcement a priority.
We demand an end to this sexist practice and quick, effective advocacy for those women who've already experienced discrimination.
Thank you to Vera and all of you for your help in keeping this issue before the government and the public.
If you'd like to be a part of building this movement to take back the province, email me and I'll add you to our growing list of folks who want to be connected.
In solidarity,
Deb
