ARTICLE 2: STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES – 11. GENDER AND EQUITY - WITHDRAWN
11. Unifor is fully committed to equity and inclusion. Women, Black, Indigenous and Workers of Colour, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Workers, Young Workers, Workers with Disabilities and other Equity seeking groups, will be represented in the structures of the union at all levels. In certain articles the constitution provides specific provisions which detail how women and equity groups participate in the leadership structures of the union. Elsewhere the commitment is expressed as a more general one. Where the commitment is a general one it requires those with the necessary authority and responsibility to address the issue. When By-Laws of all bodies in the unions are submitted to the National Executive Board for approval they will be viewed through this gender and equity lens.
