Listen Later

The headway we’ve made in recent years on LGBT+ rights is wonderful and to be celebrated, yet there’s so much more to achieve as we enter 2024: UNISON’s Year of LGBT+ Workers.

Two fantastic leaders for UNISON’s work with LGBT+ communities are Eileen Best (Co-Chair, LGBT+ National Committee) and Mitchell Coe (National Officer, LGBT+ Equality). 

Mitchell and Eileen join us to share their work, the national initiatives making change for our workers, and how you can get involved in creating a fairer workforce for LGBT+ workers.


This episode of The UNISON Podcast covers:

  • How UNISON works with & organises LGBT+ workers

  • This year’s campaign as ‘Year of LGBT+ Workers’ and how to get involved

  • Evolutions of LGBT+ rights in recent years

  • The current state of LGBT+ rights and the work yet to be done
