At UNITE HERE we’re proud every day of our LGBTQ sisters and brothers who make up and lead our union, and we’re proud to continue our work as the premier labor union fighting for and winning civil and LGBTQ rights for our workers.
It’s with pride that UNITE HERE has been a pioneer in securing equal protections for our LGBTQ brothers and sisters—protections that exist in places where no state or federal laws afford gay or trans Americans equal rights at work.
We are proud that over 200,000 UNITE HERE members have contracts that prohibit employers from discriminating against workers based on their sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
We’re proud to have had openly LGBTQ leaders serving our union at the national level, and we’re proud of the groundbreaking healthcare work we’ve done for our workers around HIV AIDS.
This month, and every month, we have pride. Join UNITE HERE at Pride 2017 celebrations throughout the US and Canada.
