The STUC LGBT+ Committee leads on campaigns and policy for LGBT+ trade union members in Scotland.
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.
Challenging Discrimination at Work
LGBT+ History Month saw the launch of the STUC LGBT+ Committee’s new campaign with a webinar exploring LGBT+ Discrimination in the Workplace and the launch of a survey for LGBT+ workers.
The survey aimed to gather LGBT+ workers’ experiences, good and bad, in the workplace to allow the STUC’s LGBT+ Committee to best focus their campaigning on the biggest priorities.
The survey is now closed and the data is being analysed by the Committee.
Trans Guidance
The guide aims to provide trade union reps with a greater understanding of transgender people and transitioning at work, transphobia and discrimination at work, inclusive language and examples of implementing and negotiating a trans equality model policy.
