Righteous Work – Just Pay, that’s the name of the social services sector’s new campaign template.
We’ve created graphics you can use in your local campaigns from coast-to-coast-to-coast. Use it in bargaining, to mobilize your members or put pressure on the government. This follows from the success of the Respect campaign, which was launched in 2002.
We think the slogan gets at key issues in the sector. Social services workers do really important work in our communities yet wages are not in line with the value of their work. We hope this campaign is useful to your local and resonates with your members!
How you can use the campaign template
There are endless ways to use the campaign template:
- Strengthen membership mobilization to support the entire bargaining process: Use the campaign template when having one-on-one conversations with members.
- Put pressure on government to increase funding: Use the campaign template in petitions, protests, letters and flyers.
- Build relationships with allies: Use the template to make the case that service quality is linked to good staff compensation in letters and flyers for allies.
