“On behalf of PSAC North, I want to welcome Queer Yukon Society employees to our union family,” says PSAC North Regional Executive Vice President Lorraine Rousseau. “You've always gone above and beyond in working to defend 2SLGBTQ+ rights and creating positive space in the Yukon. We look forward to your participation and engagement in the union." As Yukon Pride Month kicks off for August 2022, this win assures that members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community no longer have to rely on precarious work in the Yukon.
