As part of the STUC’s One Workplace Equal Rights Project’s overall aim to mainstream equality and tackle discrimination in the workplace, an annual STUC One Workplace Equality Award for trade union member(s) has been established to be presented at the STUC Annual Congress.
Background The One Workplace Equal Rights Project is a comprehensive trade union capacity building programme to build good practice in equality and diversity via a series of activities and resources including seminars, residential training, research, learning activities and web-based resources.
Following on from this, the Project aims to sustain its existing resources and activities to mainstream equality within the trade union movement. The STUC One Workplace Equality Award forms a key element of this overall strategy.
Award Objectives
The objectives of the Award are to:
• recognise and acknowledge good practice of trade union members in promoting equality and tackling discrimination;
• encourage more trade union organisations and their members to recognise and take forward equalities issues via training and learning.
All STUC affiliated trade union organisations are invited to support the Award by making nominations. As noted above, the Award will be presented to a Scottish trade union member, or a group of members working together, and therefore multiple applications from each STUC affiliated trade union organisation are welcome.
