Joint Statement from Unite the Union’s National Women's & LGBT + Committees - 16/6/25
Joint Statement from the National Women's & LGBT + Committees - 16/6/25 Today representatives of the National LGBT + and Women's committees met to continue our discussions regarding the Supreme Court ruling on the FWS vs Scottish Government case, and the consultation currently being undertaken by the EHRC, the statutory body for upholding the Equality Act. We have been speaking to and hearing from women and trans members in a broad spectrum of workplaces, across the UK, gathering evidence and feedback about members' feelings and experiences following the ruling. We understand the fear and uncertainty that this ruling has created for some workers, and we want to reassure our women & trans members that Unite The Union will always fight for the rights for all workers, both in and out of the workplace. If you are experiencing any harassment or discrimination following the ruling, please contact your branch or workplace representatives who will be able to help. To the trans community; you will always have a home in our union. We will always fight for you, and together we will succeed. Unite the UNION

Unite the Union National LGBT+ Committee
Stands with the Trans Community
Unite the Union National LGBT+ Committee Stands with the Trans Community Unite the Union's National LGBT+ committee is deeply concerned by the judgement issued by the UK Supreme Court in the case of FWS vs the Scottish Government. We will be taking some time to look at the decision in full, especially where the ruling could create legal uncertainty and discrimination in employment, education, health services etc. We will issue further statements as appropriate. We would like to take this opportunity to send a message of solidarity and comradeship to the trans community, many of whom will be experiencing fear and uncertainty in what lies ahead. But be assured you are seen; you are loved and you are not alone. Unite the Union will always stand with you.

Solidarity to all local Prides in their stance against Political Parties supporting a Puberty Blocker Ban
Unite Regional LGBT+ Committee statement on political parties participating in pride Unite has a long history of standing beside those who are most vulnerable to discrimination. Our union also has a strong history of holding politicians to account and challenging any failures to legislate to protect the most vulnerable in our society. In line with these principles we are proud to stand alongside the call for uninviting all political parties, who have supported and enacted the puberty blocker ban for trans people, from participating in Prides. Unite has proudly participated in Prides to show our support for LGBTQIA+ rights, and we actively campaign for those rights. Pride is a protest, and those who fail to support the protest have no right to be there. Pride is a call for action, and those who are in positions of power must use that power to act for everyone in the LGBTQIA+ communities. Unite’s policy is to support non-commercial, community-based Prides who focus on the rights and needs of everyone who is part of the LGBTQIA+ communities. Unite will be following our policy when deciding which local Prides to support and participate in.
