LGBT+ workers

At Community, we are proud to be a collective voice for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT+) community and campaign for LGBT+ equality. Our Equalities team are committed to this cause and fight to maintain and extend vital LGBT+ rights and policy across all UK workplaces. 

Trade unions, and trade union activists, have a long history of supporting LGBT+ workers and communities, where we have seen extraordinary advances and achievements in the last two decades, that we are proud to have been a part of. 

However, despite enormous and very welcome progress made on LGBT+ rights, there is still more to do, especially in the workplace. Prejudice, discrimination, homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying and harassment still have a major impact on the lives of LGBT+ workers – this should not be happening.  

It is our mission to fight against prejudice and discrimination, and to ensure that employers and Community Reps play a role in empowering LGBT+ workers to be their true selves.
