The logo\u2019s message emphasizes that Women\u2019s Committees have always been the momentum for change within the labour movement and outside of it. It also signals IAM women\u2019s readiness for activism beyond traditional avenues, their readiness and eagerness to take the fights of our day resolutely and with perseverance.<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, we thank Zita Hilderbrandt from local lodge 2797 for her creative efforts and tremendous help in preparing the first issue of\u00a0<strong><em>Voices<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iamaw16.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Womens-Committee-EN.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9506 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/iamaw16.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Womens-Committee-EN-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iamaw16.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Womens-Committee-EN-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/iamaw16.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Womens-Committee-EN-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/iamaw16.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Womens-Committee-EN-60x60.png 60w, https:\/\/iamaw16.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Womens-Committee-EN-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/iamaw16.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Womens-Committee-EN.png 684w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In preparation for celebrations for International Women\u2019s Day, IAM Canada is releasing the first of its kind newsletter,\u00a0Voices.
