UNISON fights discrimination and prejudice in the workplace on behalf of its lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT+) members. We work together in local and national groups of LGBT+ members to campaign and provide support for our members.
Key issues
This section is about the key issues affecting LGBT+ members. Each key issue explains the facts behind the issue, what UNISON is doing and how you can get involved. You will also find news articles, useful resources and events.
Organising
LGBT+ members meet as a self-organised group at branch, regional and national level. Find out what the different groups do and how they are organised.
LGBT+ Historical Highlights
To celebrate LGBT+ History Month UNISON has looked back on its own LGBT+ history.
Get in touch
List of regional contacts. Members can contact their LGBT+ members’ representative in UNISON branches to discuss any issues that might arise in their workplace.
