"The Lesbian and Gay Labor Network has been organizing for lesbian and
gay rights in unions in New York City for three years [as of 1990]. 
We have intervened when union members discriminated against co-workers 
with AIDS.  We have assisted gay union members in bargaining for domestic 
partner benefits in several unions.  We have helped launch a Lesbian & 
Gay Issues Committee in the largest union in New York City -- District 
Council 37 of AFSCME -- the municpal workers union. 
 
"We initiated the Coors Boycott Coalition in New York City, bringing 
together unions and gay rights organizations.  We have worked with 
gay labor networks from other cities to bring a labor presence to the 
national lesbian and gay movement.  And we have found that there is 
strength in unity among gay labor activists."
