Coronavirus - Guidance for unions

Men and women deserve respect and equal treatment at work. And the right not to be discriminated against because of their gender. Too many working women still face discrimination or harassment at work and still struggle to get equal pay.

As a union rep, you can promote fairness in the workplace and try to ensure that every worker receives fair treatment irrespective of gender. You have a pivotal role in supporting women facing discrimination and unfair treatment.

Union reps can help bargain for fair pay, decent work, negotiate for gender specific protective clothing and better workplace policies on the menopause and many more issues.
