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