Equality matters
The scheme focuses on key equality strands covered by anti-discrimination legislation - age, disability, gender, gender identity, race, religion/belief and sexual orientation - plus low paid members and other groups facing discrimination, for example migrant workers. It features detailed equality action plans for every head office unit and region.Equality makes sense
The equality scheme will:- demonstrate that UNISON is a best practice organisation
- bring new members into the union
- build the skills that activists and staff need to integrate equality into the fabric of UNISON’s work
- provide the tools to equality-proof our negotiations and campaigns
- set smart targets so that we can measure progress and communicate how much we have achieved.
Members in the driving seat
UNISON’s lay member committees, UNISON staff and their trade unions have all been involved in the development of the equality scheme.Now it’s over to you to have your say on the scheme and action plans.
