Regardless of, but not blind to. Different workers do experience different conditions because of race and gender among other things, and unions need to account for those differences not pretend they don't exist.

You probably didn't mean it this way, but this strongly implies to me you are knowingly doing things that someone who cared about racial or gender equality would feel like they would need to fight. Why is that?
- nonethewiser 3y agoIt doesnt imply that at all. The union by its own admission is treating members differently based on race. You cant claim that its good and not happening at the same time.
- oldtechworker 3y agoI think we should have completely race and gender blind hiring and promotions. That enough is something someone that cares about equity is against, is it not? Being against equity, which is equal outcomes regardless of input, does not imply one is discriminating people by race or gender or harassing people.
- giraffe_lady 3y agoWe don't have race and gender blind life so what would this even look like? When you are asking me not to see something that I can perceive very clearly, I cannot call that wisdom.
- zilchnotta 3y agoNot the OP, but I feel the racially focused initiatives of today are misdirected, counterproductive, and themselves racist. And like you, I deem it as not in my best interest, or society at large, to endorse or support those who are doing the wrong thing (even if they are doing so with the best of intentions).
