Multiple Choice

Narrative 11-2
Women working in certain occupational groups at Canada Post were systematically underpaid for nearly 20 years,according to a Supreme Court of Canada ruling in 2011.

The Public Service Alliance of Canada argued that the principle of equal pay for equal work wasn't being followed.
