Starting
Thursday, June 26, MGEU members and staff will be hitting the road on the Fairness Express to talk about income inequality and tax
fairness.
The
big green bus tour will be stopping at dozens of Manitoba communities
from June 26 to August 11 to get people talking – and have a
little fun. As the bus rolls through our
communities, it will bring a fun-filled, carnival atmosphere to events,
festivals, parades, and farmers’ markets.
Watch this page to find out where the
bus will be and get updates, photos, and stories from the road as we join Manitobans for
all the best summer has to offer in our beautiful province.
If you
happen to see the Fairness Express as it rolls into your community, please stop,
say hello and help spread the message to bring attention to this important
issue.
"Income
inequality affects us all and it’s been growing in Canada for twenty years,”
says MGEU President, Michelle Gawronsky. “It is an issue of fairness. It’s also
an economic and social issue because a shrinking middle-class impacts the
average Canadian in so many ways. We want to talk about these things and the
public services our members provide, services Manitoban's need. I know our
members can’t wait to get into our communities and hear what people have to
say.”
