Every year, 2SLGBTQI+ CUPE members and our allies come together to celebrate Pride and demand an end to homophobia, transphobia and oppression. We once again call on governments and employers to prioritize safety for Two-Spirit, queer, and trans workers.
Too often, 2SLGBTQI+ workers are subjected to violence, harassment and exclusion at work. With recent hateful attacks on drag storytime events and assaults on trans rights, CUPE members in libraries, social services and other sectors are on the frontlines in the fight against hate.
CUPE continues to push hard for safety in our workplaces and our communities. This Pride season, we invite all CUPE members to join us for festivities across the country, as we fight for safe and inclusive workplaces for all.
