May 2012
International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia
PSAC statement
May 17 is the International Day Against Homophobia. The Public Service Alliance of Canada stands in solidarity with lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans communities in opposition to homophobia and transphobia.
PSAC has joined with the Fondation Émergence to point out that Sexual diversity in the workplace, it pays off!
People deserve to feel comfortable in their workplaces. Companies, institutions and employers can create accommodating workplaces by displaying positive attitudes and creating workplaces conducive to the disclosure of sexual orientation or gender identity.
PSAC is there to support members confronted by hostility, homophobia and transphobia, which can sometimes manifest itself in the workplace. PSAC is also determined to negotiate collective agreements that meet the specific needs of its GLBT members. PSAC will also continue its efforts to amending the Criminal Code and the Canadian Human Rights Act to better protect the rights of trans people.
PSAC defends, respects and the promotes equality rights for all of its members.Date Modified : 2012/05/16
