CONFERENCE supported a motion to celebrate the Year of LGBT Workers today and to call for the embedding of the work within Unison.
LGBT committee chairwoman Eilleen Best reminded the conference that thousands of Unison members and their families “continue to face vicious abuse” which made the Year of LGBT Workers was so important.
She said: “We need to continue the process of supporting members of the union to better understand trans issues and improve our policies.”
