Equality is written into our rules and policies. But making equality part of everyday business is no small task.
This course explores internal and external tools, which can support equality bargaining, negotiating, and representation.
It also looks at how to identify equality themes in organising and recruitment, as well as considering the different equality roles in UNISON and how you can utilise their support.
