On December 6, 1989, 14 young women at Polytechnique Montréal were murdered in an act of violent misogyny that shook our country and led Parliament to designate December 6 as The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. On December 6, we remember them.

Yesterday, CUPE Local 79 held its first Picket Captain training, as we must prepare for the possibility that we will need to use our strongest tool: our collective power to withdraw our labour and push the City of Toronto to meet our reasonable contract demands.
