Union Women Outraged at Arrest of Women’s Centres Advocates BC Federation of Labour
Vancouver – B.C. Federation of Labour Secretary Treasurer, Angela Schira, expressed outrage at the arrest of five women advocating for funding restoration for BC’s women’s centre.
"It’s an absolute disgrace," said Schira, "the BC Liberals may be used to having police in the Legislature, BC women are not." Five representatives were arrested following a meeting with Liberal Women’s Services Minister of State Ida Chong. Chong refused to restore the drastic women’s centres funding cuts the Liberals made two years earlier. "The Liberals have been condemned by the United Nations for their draconian cuts to women’s services, and when women’s advocates finally have an opportunity to meet with the government, they end up arrested. No wonder polls show plummeting support for the Liberals among women voters."
