Employers and unions must address systemic racism
This week, a PSAC member was terminated after sharing a racist video that mocked the murder of George Floyd.
We were appalled at the creation and distribution of such disturbing and offensive content. It is particularly troubling when we consider that one of the people involved, worked for a major federal institution.
