LGBT History Month
To celebrate LGBT+ History Month, the STUC LGBT+ Worker’s Committee are proud to share our new learning resource, which highlights and sign-posts towards the essential ways in which trade union organising and activism have helped make the world a better place for LGBT+ workers and individuals. As a Committee we are acutely aware of the precarity of LGBT+ people’s rights in the current global context, as far-right populism takes hold across the world. We understand that inequal access to power, agency and money is threatening democratic institutions across the globe – the solution is to stand up and stand together. These examples are drawn from both history and the present moment, and from a range of countries across the world. 
The purpose is to inspire and create strength in the face of oppression – these examples show clearly the hard-won fights that LGBT+ workers have taken on and the successes that have transpired when trade unions place intersectionality at the heart of their practice.
Times are tough, but together we will always eventually win. Solidarity!
