Everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect. The ability to live and work without prejudice is a fundamental right, regardless of your background, colour or sexual orientation.
One of UNISON’s main aims is to help workers fight for fairness and equality in the workplace and beyond. Challenging discrimination and winning equality is at the heart of everything UNISON does.
Besides the right not to be discriminated against or bullied, fair treatment also includes equal working conditions and pay.
UNISON South East has created this helpful interactive Equalities calendar so you can find out when celebration and equality focused events take place throughout the year.
Let’s get Equalities on the Agenda!
