Equality is union business! The AMWU proudly stands alongside the LGBTQIA+ community and our queer members.
Simple ways that you can make workplaces safer for LGBTIQA+ people are:
- Put your pronoun (eg. She/Her, He/Him, They/Them) on your email signature.
- Avoid making assumptions about your colleague’s partner or dating life.
- Encourage your LGBTIQA+ colleagues to seek support from the AMWU if they do experience discrimination or harassment in the workplace.
Support for LGBTQIA+ AMWU members
If you or a colleague need to talk to anyone, you can access free support via the AMWU Care line: https://www.amwu.org.au/care_line
HAVE YOUR SAY:
Do you have any ideas on how AMWU enterprise agreements can better support LGBTQIA+ members? Or perhaps you’d like to get involved in Pride events like Midsumma. Contact Organiser Courteney Munn on 0457 250 554 [email protected].
Youth fest 22’
In September 2022, the AMWU Youth Committee hosted a movie night for the film ‘Pride’ (2014).
