The mandate of the Human Rights Committee is to work both within our local and the community to ensure equal rights for all people regardless of race, sex, creed, colour, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, political or religious affiliation or place of national origin, so long as the perceived rights of one do not infringe upon the rights of another. We will endeavour, in our committee work, to bring awareness and education to our members and the community pertaining tothe struggles and the barriers that are faced still, today, in our workplaces and in society.

If you, or anyone you know is interested in becoming a member of this committee (or simply being added to the mailing list), please contact any of the committee members listed below.

"Human rights work within the union is not an "addition" to trade union work; it is essential to the very reason for our existence."
