Equal rights @ work

The Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby (GLRL) has been campaigning for equality in the workplace. We released a report - "The Pink Ceiling is Too Low" - which found that 59% of the 900 GLBT people surveyed had experienced some form of unfair treatment in the workplace.

The Workchoices Laws have changed the landscape of Australian workplace - the GLRL is monitoring the impact of the Workchoices laws on the GLBT community with community groups and Workers Out!
