LGBT

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender members' self organised group

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people are often still denied equality in the workplace – too often they face discrimination, bullying and harassment instead of a fair deal. Joining UNISON gives you a voice in Britain's biggest public sector union, which is committed to working for LGBT rights. Members organise locally and nationally to support each other, to identify and challenge discrimination, to increase awareness of LGBT rights and to campaign for change.
