Un-captured unions?

[Needapadlockonmyfridge]

Various chanes on the horizon at work, and I am thinking I ought to be joining a union.
Private sector.
Not in a sector with any specific union.
Are there any that aren't captured?

Not any in my workplace
That's me rolling my eyes at the advertised working groups, for various protected groups, plus of course anyone who decides to identify into them are welcome.

Mmm I suspect this is the same all over!

Unite seem to have a reasonable response to the Supreme Court ruling if that helps, I got this from them today in a newsletter:

Unite is carefully considering the Supreme Court ruling and remains committed to supporting any members facing harassment and discrimination as we recognise that collective solidarity is the only way to prevent communities being pitted against each other.

We will need time to understand the full implications of the judgement and will be examining the new statutory code that is expected to be published in the summer. A review of our current materials will take place in consultation with our National Women's committee and National LGBT+ committee as our guiding principle has been to work collaboratively and not to allow division between our members. We recognise that any guidance will need to be legally compliant but also fully inclusive in addressing the uncertainty that members may be facing and advocating on their behalf.

A clear message from the judgement was to reaffirm the protections against discrimination contained in the Equality Act for women and our trans colleagues, there is no hierarchy in equality. Unite will continue to use any industrial and legal route to enforce this. We are a campaigning union always seeking to negotiate improved terms and conditions and advance the legal rights for all workers.

Support and representation are available for any member affected by this. Unite is absolutely committed to the fight for human rights and will always stand by all marginalised groups in our society.

That's by far the most sane union response I've seen so far. Of course their National Women's committee may not actually be single-sex, but at least it got a mention alongside the LGBT one.

Usdaw, a retail union, if I recall correctly, recognised women's right to single sex spaces.

Check out Affinity. They say 'Affinity is non-political and has no ideological stance, except our determination to fight discrimination of any sort wherever members experience it and defend free speech. Put simply, we believe in the rule of law.'

Thank you everyone. I shall look at these and join one!
