The National Union has a proud history of working for and promoting women’s rights and equality.  Aiding the National Union in its work on issues affecting women within Canada and around the world, is its Advisory Committee on Women’s Issues (ACWI).  Established in 1976 as the National Union’s Human Rights (Women’s Rights) Committee, the ACWI has addressed many issues including pay equity, women’s leadership, child care, women’s health, life/work balance and violence against women.
