IVP Statement: Happy International Women’s Day!

Categories: Canada, IBEW

The IBEW is proud to represent a growing number of women among our ranks. Our IBEW sisters are a highly motivated and active portion of our membership both on and off the jobsite.

Throughout March, we celebrate the remarkable women making a difference in the electrical industry and beyond. Happy Women in Construction Week, and International Women’s Day! Let’s applaud the incredible strength and resilience of all the women in our workforce. Their invaluable contributions make our union stronger and more inclusive.

Engaged and supported, women enhance our bargaining prowess and bolster our organizing efforts across all underrepresented groups. This is why women-focused initiatives must continue to be a priority.

Let’s empower our sisters who wish to engage, build community, and overcome collective challenges. We must continue to foster initiatives that support and uplift our members – especially for those who face barriers related to outdated stigmas and isolation.

IBEW Canada continues to commit to championing gender equality and ensuring that every voice is heard and respected in our workplaces. Together, we can create a future where everyone, regardless of gender, thrives and succeeds!

In Solidarity,

Russ Shewchuk
International Vice President
IBEW First District, Canada
