The Southwest Washington Central Labor Council is committed to the principle that all people are equal, and therefore deserve respect and fair treatment - regardless of sex, gender identity/expression, or sexual orientation.

Equal rights are the cornerstone of the labor movement.

Unions were founded on the principle that all people are equal and all people are deserving of respect and fair treatment. Equality issues run through all areas of trade union activities – from health and safety to wage negotiations.
