WORK IS WORK
MUNSU understands that all work is work, and that students should be paid fairly for the work that they do. This includes labour done as part of clinicals, work placements, and co-op programs. We also stand against unfair wage gaps affecting traditionally female-dominated programs such as nursing, education, and social work, and work towards a future where all students are paid a living wage for their labour.
