National Conference for Racially Visible Members March 7-9/08
MONTREAL – Racialized delegates of the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) from across the country had an opportunity to examine issues that have a direct impact on their communities such as the current backlash and debate on the issue of reasonable accommodation, racial profiling and security, and the cut-backs of public services. These issues are also workshop topics at the union's National Conference for Racially Visible Members. With the theme “Be the Change: Create a Better World,” the three-day conference aims to strengthen solidarity and to empower, politicize and mobilize members to take on leadership and action to ensure their union, workplaces and communities are free of racism.
