Description

HEU’s commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) is critical to building a powerful, inclusive union. This one-day workshop is offered as part of our DEIA work. 

People with disabilities experience higher rates of poverty, discrimination, harassment and violence. As a union, we can help dismantle barriers and systems that create these oppressions.

In this workshop you will:

  • Learn about approaches to disability justice;
  • Learn definitions of ableism; and
  • Discuss the union’s role in fighting for accessibility in the workplace and the labour movement.

All HEU members are encouraged to apply.  

Please note, applications received after the deadline will not be accepted.

Watch out for the workshop coming on May 5, 2026.  This is an in-person workshop being held in the Lower Mainland. Please check the HEU website and your local correspondence to apply for future sessions of this workshop.
