As well, nearly two million Canadians desperately need an alternative to payday lenders. A postal bank could be that alternative. Download and sign the petition urging the Government of Canada to instruct Canada Post to add postal banking, with a mandate for financial inclusion.

The eight-hour workday, weekends, health and safety standards, and the right to organize— all of these hard-won gains were achieved through the tireless efforts of workers united in a common cause.
