Pride
The Canadian Labour Congress is committed to the equality of all people in Canada. The CLC’s equality work includes opposition to discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.
We have worked to challenge homophobia and transphobia in our workplaces, to negotiate collective agreements to protect and to provide equal access to all benefits for our lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) members and their families.
We organize conferences and workshops to advance issues of concern to our LGBT members and to develop strategies to move the equality struggle forward. We lobby governments and organize campaigns to win changes to human rights legislation, for equal benefits and for equal marriage. We continue to organize for trans human rights and to eliminate homophobia and transphobia.
Ready to Rise UP for Your Rights? Attend our Human Rights Conference - December 2010
Yes, we are taking this fight right to the government's door step. There's been a dangerous agenda at work in Ottawa, for nearly four years. The Conservative government has been steadily changing laws--changing the rules, dismantling Canada’s democratic traditions.
This is an activist conference, for workers who recognize and are determined to change what Conservative policies mean for aboriginal and racialized communities, for LGBT communities, for people living with disabilities and for women. This event is also for our allies who understand what the Conservative agenda has in store for communities who don't share their vision. This will be an important moment for those who want to help build a strong, diverse and inclusive labour movement and it's a chance to act together – politically and strategically.
