The Canadian labour movement stands in solidarity with the struggles of LGBT communities across the country. This alliance has resulted in an impressive record of victories for LGBT rights at work, in the legal arena and within our own trade union movement.
While Canadian unions have a solid record of support, we know that much remains to be done - in particular we must work hard to win legal protection for trans people under our human rights laws and collective agreement rights at work.
This “Allies” booklet will be a useful tool in our ongoing work to educate ourselves and each other about LGBT realities and to strengthen our resolve to create a truly equal society which celebrates and embraces all of its members.
