Discrimination is a human rights issue.
Different organizations may fight for different issues, however, the common thread that links these groups is the advancement of human rights. If asked, most people would say that a Labor Union is not a human rights organization. However, if we look at the advancement of human rights we will find that Labor Unions have played and continue to play a significant role. Workplace discrimination knows no race, orientation, gender, political or religious boundary. Labor Unions are the organizations that lead the fight for justice, respect and dignity for all workers.
