Description

July 13 Vancouver B.C. Minister of Human Resources Bill Vander Zalm attacked the existence of a Gay Workers' Support Group within the Vancouver Resources Board (VRB). Later, on January 1, 1978, the 1,400 employees of the VRB became part of the B.C. Ministry of Human Resources, under Vander Zalm. The unionized employees of VRB had previously been protected from discrimination based on sexual orientation, but this came under attack when they transferred to the British Columbia Government Employees Union (BCGEU).
