Shouldn’t all workers be treated equally in the workplace?
“The biggest injustice is to treat equally things which are unequal” – Aristotle. Experience and social research show that equality of rights or equal treatment is not sufficient to achieve equality of opportunities in society and in the workplace. This is why employment equity programs have been created, to overcome these inequities and to enhance employment opportunities for members of the designated groups. Employment equity means treating everyone with fairness, taking into account people’s differences.
