TUC backs reform of the GRA to "include self determination"

Being LGBT+ at Work - LGBT+ Workplace Experiences 2023Longer report

The TUC conducted this research to investigate the extent to which the progress of recent decades in embedding formal legal protections for LGBT+ workers has translated into positive and inclusive experiences of the workplace. What we found was worrying: despite LGBT+ workers being protected by law from discrimination, harassment and bullying, too many still experienced the workplace as a negative or even harmful.

Conclusion and recommendations

Government should:

• Consult with unions on a strategy to make sure workplaces are safe for all LGBT+ people.
• Introduce legislation that would protect workers from harassment by customers and clients.
• Reform the gender recognition act, giving trans and non-binary people the right to self-determination.
• Maintain protections for trans and non-binary people in the equality act.
• Introduce a statutory requirement for large employers to report their LGBT+ pay gaps and employment rates – with regular monitoring and action plans detailing how employers will address these inequalities.
• Act to stamp out the insecure work that disproportionately hits LGBT+ workers, by banning zero hours contracts, raising the national minimum wage to £15 per hour as soon as possible, and acting on fire and rehire and bogus self-employment.

The British Trade Unions have a death wish. Thatcher decimated them and now they are finishing the job off themselves by alienating women who could be members if their sex-based rights were respected.

I wonder how this links with Labour Party. How will Labour word their manifesto about their newfound TWANW and that of the TUC. I will be crawling all over their manifesto, looking for that little word or phrase that can be misinterpreted.

What discussions are going on behind the scenes - keep low key until the election and then lets see how much we can achieve under the radar.

We know some of what Labour are up to:

I dont know whether to laugh or cry.

However, my main concern is that of GC women needing support in the workplace in terms of asserting their rights to say women are biological females.

This makes it look like calling in your Union Rep will effeectively mean you wont get support.

Haven't looked but unless they put out a statement about balancing women's rights and trans rights, this is another institution that women can no longer rely on.

And for so many women, their work may be shitty and uninspiring, but economically they rely on it. eg the thread yesterday that got taken down at its OP's request. That is how women's lives are being made increasingly less secure due to the trans narrative taken precedence.

Introduce a statutory requirement for large employers to report their LGBT+ pay gaps and employment rates – with regular monitoring and action plans detailing how employers will address these inequalities.

This is awful isn't it? Why on earth do we need to be forced to count people by their sex lives and print how much they are paid on average! It's such an overreach.

We don't want our sex lives monitored at work thanks. I don't want to report on this. It is an invasion of privacy. What do they expect us to do about addressing so called inequalities, have a meeting with executives listing gay men and women and discuss their pay on that basis

Back off you weirdo sex obsessed leftist lunatics.

'Back off you weirdo sex obsessed leftist lunatics.'
I know it beggars belief. In fact if the whole point of that GDPR nonsense a few years ago was to ensure that only essential data was held on people, how are D, I & E providers/advisors getting away with advocating that organisations ask for all this inappropriate stuff such as 'gender identity' and 'sexual orientation'?.

Many of our Unions have a long history of supporting and enforcing misogynistic workplace practices, and that extends through to the TUC.

Add to that a considerable number of women, over the years, who were paid off and forced to sign gagging clauses after experiencing sexual harassment and/or misogyny, and you can see why the TUC puts its name to this kind of BS.

Gotta keep looking after the men.
