Proud of our members representing @ucuscotland.bsky.social at the @scottishtuc.bsky.social LGBT+ Workers Conference! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ As our EHRC Working Group continues to prepare for the new guidance, it is more important than ever to build solidarity among our LGBT+ and trade union movements! #STUClgbt26
Equality is not conditional. Dignity at work is not negotiable. The EHRC Code of Practice has been published. UCU is examining it urgently. This is a significant and unsettling moment and we will not leave branches to navigate it alone. www.ucu.org.uk/article/1451...
We believe that trans people deserve equal rights and protection in the workplace and wider society. We will campaign for inclusive legislation to support this. (2/2)
Any guidance from the EHRC needs to be clear and effective in supporting organisations to prevent discrimination. Yet the updated code and selective media reporting will do nothing to reassure trans, non-binary and gender diverse people. (1/2)
