About Us
The Equity Unit advises OPSEU provincial and
regional committees and caucuses on issues related to women, people with
disabilities, workers of colour, Aboriginal workers, lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgendered and transsexual (LGBTTQ) workers and young workers. The Unit also
provides strategic expertise and support to staff and individual members in
relation to campaigns, grievances, mediations, harassment and discrimination
complaints, policy initiatives and training related to human rights.
Our job as OPSEU members and activists is to
promote and maintain our union’s message around equity. The work of OPSEU’s
Equity Committees, Caucuses and the Unit provides a foundation for this work.
However, to ensure that equity reaches every member and every workplace we need
every member to be a champion for equity.

get involved and related resources below.
