Equality

The TUC campaigns against discrimination at work and in wider society. You can find out more about our work on equal rights for women and men and part-timers, equality for black workers, lesbian and gay rights, disability issues and age equality

The TUC also campaigns for a better work/life balance, see the working life section. The TUC changing times website gives employers and unions practical guidance to achieve a better work-life balance in the workplace.

Download the TUC guide to equality law which provides a practical and clear explanation of workplace rights.
