Equality
PSI has a long history and a strong
commitment to fighting for social justice. No workers should face
discrimination because of issues unrelated to what they do at work. Yet
this happens every day to millions of workers around the world. They
face discrimination based on gender, age, race, sexual orientation,
disability, nationality, religion, and other factors that make people
different from the dominant groups in society.
Social justice is an important objective in its own right. However, it
also represents the future. For the union movement to grow strong it
must develop its capacity to organise all groups in diverse societies.
PSI is working to:
- promote equal
opportunity;
- oppose discrimination;
- promote positive action to address
past discrimination.
The PSI's equality work covers:
- Women
- Children
- Indigenous and tribal people
- Lesbian and Gay workers
- Older people
- Workers with disabilities
- Young people
