Challenging Racism
Everyone is entitled to fair treatment at work.
Yet, despite more than 30 years of legislation to outlaw race discrimination, Black workers of African, Asian and Caribbean heritage are still more likely than white colleagues to be disciplined at work, to experience harassment and to work in junior or temporary positions.
The Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000 has opened up new doors for Black workers, trade unionists and for UNISON to deliver equality.
It’s up to all UNISON members – Black and white colleagues working together – to strive for race equality with UNISON supporting you all the way.
We can make a difference.
In the Eastern region in 2010 we will be organising and running training courses for our branch activists on how UNISON activists and members can make a difference in the workplace for our black members . This initiative is aimed at ensuring racism is eradicated from the workplace rather than being ignored .
