Working people understand that we do not live in a fair society and that this lack of fairness extends into our workplaces. Discrimination based on disabilities is a daily reality and we have a responsibility to confront it.

November 20 is the Transgender Day of Remembrance, a day born out of the need to recognize, mourn and take action on violence against trans people. Unifor stands alongside our trans members and their families as they seek to live with the dignity, safety and freedom that we all need and deserve.
Violence against women isn’t a series of isolated incidents, it’s a systemic issue that is rooted in sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia and other forms of discrimination and oppression. It’s all connected, and we can’t end violence against women without turning our attention to these issues.
