Thanks to Kathy Shaidle, I came across this story at LifeSite.

One of Canada's largest unions is refusing to recognize a member's right to freedom of conscience, when that freedom involves opposition to same-sex marriage.

The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) has denied the request of Treasury Board employee Susan Comstock to divert her dues to a charity, a request she made on the grounds that PSAC's open support of Bill C-38, the bill to legalize gay marriage, went against Ms. Comstock's personal beliefs.

Although PSAC's collective agreement contains a clause allowing a member to divert their dues to charity for reasons of religious or conscience, the union refused to grant Ms. Comstocks' request, saying the clause did not apply to her.

The thought police at work. Comstock is Catholic, so gay marriage is a sin to her. Instead of redirecting the money as requested, they are labelling her "heterosexist" (how the libs love their labels - so long as they're applied to US and not THEM), and they want to re-educate her. Get those nasty heterosexist thoughts out of her head.

"Since by their definition I would be considered heterosexist, they were using my union dues to discriminate against me and had a policy to re-educate me," Ms. Comstock told CCN in a phone interview from Toronto April 12.

"The policy is wrong," she said. "In advocating for the rights of one group in union membership, they are discriminating against another group."

LifeSite has the contact details for the union, if you're in the mood for a little activism on this sunny Thursday morning.
