Ourselves, Out, Safe, Respected

GMB Northants is proud to help promote TUC's Pride campaign, by sharing their petition.

 The petition calls for the government to

• reinstate employment tribunals’ powers to make wider recommendations to employers, to root our systemic failings and cultures of bullying and harassment
• to recruit a new LGBT Advisory Panel, with a clear mandate and trade union representation.

The petition was due to go out last week but was slightly delayed as we have won two of our original asks – the preventative duty on sexual harassment and a new duty on employers to protect workers from harassment by customers and clients!  Demand action to address the inequality experienced by LGBT+ people at work | Megaphone UK

Sexual harassment webinar
As part of the Pride campaign and following the announcement on the preventative duty, we are hosting a webinar on sexual harassment on Wednesday 11 August at 1900. All the details can be found on the events page:  https://www.tuc.org.uk/events/discussion-sexual-harassment-whats-next.
