UNISON and
Cymru Wales
LGBT
UNISON is the largest public service trade
union in the UK with over 1.3 million
members. Our members care for the
vulnerable and the sick, keep our streets
and communities clean and safe and help
people lead independent lives. Some are
seen every day, others are less well known,
but the jobs they do are important to
everyone in the UK.
UNISON addresses inequality through
self organised groups, one of which is for
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender
Members. LGBT workers face harassment
and discrimination. It’s hard to deal with
on your own. Joining UNISON gives
members a voice and is committed to
working for LGBT rights. LGBT 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.
Cymru Wales has its own LGBT self
organised group which meets four times
a year and takes part in a National
Conference every November. The group
run stalls at Pride events throughout Wales
and endeavour to take the equality message
to members and non members alike.
Members in the group hold positions in the
union at a regional and national level to
ensure that LGBT people are represented
and their voices heard.
