New Feature: Human Rights Point BLOG @ www.blogspot.com This tool will enable the Committee Members to hold an online meeting and communicate from home. New Members: Mark McWilliams and Brendan Sheehan The Human Rights Committee (top photo) from left to right; Chairperson Kirby Boyce, Mary Robinson, Donna Benson, Jeffery Edwards. Mary and Donna are holding a quilt section prepared for the Global Solidarity Quilt which will be a backdrop at the IAMAW International Women’s Conference in Toronto, Canada in September 2005. Afterward the quilt will be forwarded to the Canadian Breast Cancer Institute to be included in their quilt action for 2006. The quilt is being put together to support the World March for Humanity 2005.
The 1746-A Human Rights Committee will strive to ensure we have a workplace in which people of any color, gender, race, ethnicity, disability, sexual preference, age, or any other prohibited grounds are free from all forms of discrimination.
We will accomplish this goal through a variety of programs and activities. We will fight workplace discrimination specifically in the areas of job training, promotions, access to skilled jobs and pay equity. And, we will continue to ensure education, training and equal opportunity for the full integration of women and minorities into every level of the life and leadership of our Union.
