Diversity helps building good teams. Respect is a basis for individual input and commitment. Social support is the environment everybody needs in order to be productive and contribute. In the unions, in society at large and certainly at the workplace. A campaign for diversity and managing diversity would benefit both workers and management.
Codes of conduct are a good instrument to support that.
But we still have to work on the commitment on the side of the central employers' organisations to get there. We call on the employers' organisations to develop together with us guidelines and a model code of conduct that can be used in all workplaces. There is nothing to lose, we will all gain from it. We do not. Only the unions in the public and civil service, for education, police and the armed forces have active groups and activities for homosexual men and lesbians.
