Out at Work, Out in our Unions!

What are the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) workers on the job? Join members of "Pride at Work" (the national LGBTI labor organization) and representatives from the Hawai‘i Civil Rights Commission and the UH Center for Labor Education and research for a discussion of LGBTI employment and union issues. Topics to be addressed include: job discrimination, health care, transgender medical coverage, domestic partnership benefits, and union representation.

Also, there will be a showing of the powerful documentary, "Out at Work," a 60 minute film about the lives of three workers: a lesbian who became politically active after being fired from Cracker Barrel Restaurant in Georgia; a gay man who fought harassment through his union un an auto factory in Detroit; and a New York Public Library Employee who sought health benefits for his partner.

This event will be held at The Center, at 614 South St. #105 (on the Ewa side of South St., between Halekauwila and Quuen Streets). Supported in part by a grant from The People's Fund, this event is sponsored by: The Center, AFSC-Hawai‘i, UH Manoa LGBTI Student Services, and the systemwide UH Commission on the Status of LGBTI Equality.
