As to whether unions have an interest and duty to end domestic violence, Howard said that they do. \u201cWe have a responsibility to our members as full people\u2026to make the world a better place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The workplace as well as the home can be affected by domestic violence, as a women who is experiencing it at home may as a result be late for work, miss days of work, or be harassed by constant phone calls by her partner, according to Howard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">To begin to deal with this, it\u2019s necessary to acknowledge there is a problem, she says. \u201cThe first thing to understand is that domestic violence is our business.\u201d Though colleagues or friends who know or suspect a problem may be reluctant to ask, \u201cSecrecy allows violence to go on unchecked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Some unions and workplaces have been able to negotiate leave policies and job protection for employees escaping situations of domestic violence, says Howard. Formerly an MLA and then a cabinet minister in the Manitoba provincial government, Howard spoke about that province\u2019s enactment of legislation to allow employees time off work for specific purposes to address violence issues in the home. In hearings before the legislation was enacted, the MLAs listened to many stories from people describing their experiences with family violence and how it shaped their lives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cOne of the things we can do is to tell our stories and to listen to other people\u2019s stories,\u201d said Howard. She described her own childhood, during which her stepfather abused Howard and her mother until the night Howard fled the house, believing that otherwise, he might kill her. That prompted her mother to leave as well, and to end the marriage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Workshops during the day included a session on confidence building, and another titled Taking Charge of Your Financial Life. Presented by financial coach Paula Roode, the session focused on ways to better understand and manage your money.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Statistics from as recently as 2015 dhow that almost half of Canadians live paycheque to paycheque, Roode observed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cPeople really need facts and information about money,\u201d she noted, adding that with these, people can develop strategies and make good decisions about everything from what kind of insurance to buy, to how to manage debt and credit cards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cFinancial goals are highly individual,\u201d said Roode. However, she stressed the importance of having an emergency fund, as well as a short term savings fund for items such as a vacation, and a long term savings and\/or investment fund for retirement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The MARLANT event was open to CAF members, PSAC members and employees of federal departments, agencies and Crown corporations.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>International Women\u2019s Day a chance to listen, learn, and share By Virginia Beaton, Trident Staff MARLANT marked International Women\u2019s Day 2018 with an event that ranged from a session on confidence building, to one that offered options on how to take change of your financial life.
