Why is this such an important role?
Equality is at the heart of everything UNISON does because:
- Many of us face discrimination and unfairness at work
- Equality matters to every one of us
- Equality is not a minority issue or an optional extra.

Equality matters
Unison's equality scheme is a tool to help us make sure equality is
promoted in everything we do. The equality strands in Unison's scheme are
age, disability, gender, gender identity, race, religion/belief and sexual
orientation - plus low paid members and other groups facing
discrimination, for example migrant workers. It includes detailed equality
action plans for every head office unit and region.
