Description

May 11–13 London, Ont. The Ontario division of CUPE passed two resolutions concerning sexual orientation during its annual convention. The first resolution, to amend the general human rights clause in CUPE's constitution to include sexual orientation, was at first met with an outburst of laughter and derision from some delegates, but was passed by more than a two-thirds majority. A second resolution, which encouraged local affiliates to bargain for the inclusion of sexual orientation in the non-discrimination clause of collective agreements, also passed.
