The Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees' Association (SDA) is committed to promoting diversity, inclusion, and equality within our union and the workplaces we represent. Our dedication to these principles reflects our core values and the rich diversity of our membership.
We recognise that diversity encompasses a wide range of characteristics, including age, ability, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, and many other visible and less visible aspects. By embracing this diversity, we aim to create an environment where every individual feels valued and respected.
Inclusion is central to our culture; it ensures that all voices are heard and that every member can participate fully in the union’s activities. We strive to cultivate a climate where fairness and respect are foundational, allowing all individuals to thrive without fear of discrimination.
Equality in the workplace means providing all members with equal opportunities for recruitment, training, and advancement based on their unique skills and experiences. This policy reaffirms our commitment to these values, ensuring that the SDA not only represents the interests of its members but also reflects their vibrant diversity. Together, we will continue to build a union that stands as a beacon of equality and inclusion for all.
