This 1984 discussion paper on affirmative action and unions was written by Hana Aach for the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC)/Congrès du travail du Canada (CTC) Women’s Bureau. The discussion paper provides background on affirmative action legislation, strategies for union organizing for employment equity, and recommendations for the government and unions. It also includes a discussion on women in unions, seniority rights, equal pay for equal work, affirmative action programs in Saskatchewan, and the survey results of delegates from the 4th biennial CLC National Equality Conference.
