Today, this legislation is more important than ever, as we see some employers rolling back on their commitment to equality in the workplace.

Join Unite to defend your rights in the workplace!

1/2 🧵

✊ 15 Years of the Equalities Act

For 15 years trade union reps have used the Equality Act to fight for our members rights at work: a level playing field for disabled members and protection from bullying, harassment and unfair dismissal just because of who you are.

Lindsey Oil Refinery doesn't just make a difference to the local economy - it's a key part of our national infrastructure. If LOR is allowed to close, we will be more reliant on Russian oil via India and Turkey. We need more fuel security - not less!
