  Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender members

Network Meetings:
bi and trans network meetings are on 23 July, disabled LGBT members on 10 September and Black LGBT members on 11 September.

These are excellent opportunities for these groups of members to get involved, find out what is going on and have a say in the motions that each caucus can submit to the national LGBT conference.

LGBT UNISON logoLesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people are still denied equality in the workplace - too often we face discrimination and harassment instead of a fair deal. Joining UNISON gives you a voice in Britain's biggest public services union, which is committed to working for LGBT rights.

Lesbians, gay men, bisexual and transgender people in UNISON organise locally and nationally to support each other, to identify discrimination, to increase awareness of LGBT rights and to campaign for change. The UNISON group voted in 2005 to become an LGBT group and we are working to build bisexual and transgender members and issues into the core of our group. Together we can speak up for our rights at work and improve each other's lives.

About Self Organisation

To make sure all our members have a voice in the union, UNISON members have set up 'self-organised groups' to provide a voice for people who are traditionally under represented. UNISON has groups at national, regional and local level for women, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender members, black members and disabled members. These groups are designed to be self-organising but also integral to the union's structures.
