We cannot let Reform UK roll back the hard-won rights of LGBT+ people - Farage's comments are dangerous, baseless and homophobic.

🏳️‍🌈 Why LGBT+ History Month Matters 🏳️‍⚧️

Equality is everyone’s fight. Trade unions stand for fairness, inclusion & dignity—that means ensuring LGBT+ colleagues feel safe, valued & supported.

Learning from the past helps us build a more inclusive future.

Real-life testimonies 👇 from shop workers who have been targeted with abuse, threats and violence at work.

It has to stop.

If you're shopping in the post-Christmas sales remember that retail workers, like everyone else, deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.

If you're off to the shops today, remember that retail workers will have already been extremely busy on the run up to Christmas - keep your cool, treat shopworkers with respect and let's make the shopping experience better for everyone.

No matter how stressful busy shopping periods can be, remember that retail staff are working long hours and are under a lot of pressure to get you the gifts you want for your family. Please respect shopworkers while doing your Christmas shopping. Abuse is #NotPartOfTheJob!
