For the UNSA, slavery and racism are intrinsically linked, drawing on physical, cultural or religious differences as reasons for domination and exclusion.
May 10* is an opportunity to recall the commitments of the charter of values of our union organization according to which “the UNSA makes the fight against discrimination one of its founding principles.
No one can claim to be a member of the UNSA if they do not share these freely agreed principles.
A lifelong and everyday commitment
For the UNSA, trade unionism is incompatible with populist and extremist ideas which threaten democracy.
This is why individual and collective freedoms, respect for human rights and human dignity must be at the heart of our model of society. The UNSA has always had them as its compass.
The UNSA makes the fight against discrimination at work a daily commitment.
- It combats inequalities of treatment based on criteria prohibited by law.
- It calls for rethinking recruitment practices and managerial approaches in order to counter systemic trends towards exclusion from the labor market.
- It works for equal opportunities in access to work and career development.
*In 2001, for the first time, the Taubira law recognized the slave trade and slavery as a “crime against humanity”. In 2006, the day of commemoration was set for May 10, the date of adoption of the Taubira law: the opportunity to remember France’s past, but also to fight against forgetting.
