LGBTQ+ CORE Committee
The IUPAT LGBTQ+ CORE Committee ensures all LGBTQ+ members are treated with dignity and respect in the workplace.

Mission Statement
The IUPAT LGBTQ+ CORE Committee’s mission is to create and support an environment throughout the IUPAT trades that is safe for all individuals, where all
LGBTQ+ community members are treated with dignity and respect while also given the opportunity to thrive in a safe environment among all our trades. We strongly
believe that every worker has a right to a work environment without harassment, discrimination, or fear of violence.
If you’re a part of our union and an LGBTQ+ member, we are here to support you in any way we can, and we hope you’ll join our committee!
Solidarity Pledge
As members of the IUPAT, we are committed to our message “One Union, One Family, One Fight,” fostering a workplace and community where everyone is respected and valued, regardless of their background or identity. To ensure this, we stand together and make the following pledge:
“I pledge to publicly denounce any hateful or offensive rhetoric directed at minority groups of the IUPAT, especially those who identify with the LGBTQ+ community. As an IUPAT member, I commit to standing in support of all my fellow members and fostering a respectful, inclusive environment.”
By signing this petition, we collectively affirm our dedication to upholding these values and creating a stronger, more inclusive IUPAT.
