Trade agreement may
hurt working women
Thc proposed Canada -U.S. free
trade agreement could have a nega-
tive impact on a significant portion.
of Ontario's female workforce ac-
cording to a paper released by Gre-
gory Sorbara, Minister Responsible
for Women's issues. The paper was
prepared by the Ontario Women's
Directorate.
"Throughout the province's econ-
omy, women are disproportionately
represented in jobs that appear to be
most jeopardized by the trade agree-
ment", the Minister said.
The report indicates that in the
manufacturing industry, women
could be. more adversely affected
than men. Forty-four per ccnt of
women in this sector of thc econo-
my work in jobs that arc expected
to be made vulnerable by the trade
agreement. This represents nearly
100,0(X) women.
In addition, the paper points out
that displaced women who move
from the manufacturing sector to
the service sector are likely to earn
Icss money and enjoy little se-
curity. This is because women tradi-
tionally rank lowest on the salary
scale in service jobs. Moreover, if
American companies close down
branch plants, clerical and support
jobs, held primarily by women,
will also bc lost.
"Women in high-risk industries
are also the workers who will face
serious barriers in finding new em-
ployment." Mr. Sorb tra said "This
will be especially true for older
women, those with little formal ed-
ucation, and immigrant women. A
deal that stands to hurt so many of
Ontario's working women is a bad
deal for Ontario."
