Unite is firmly committed to promoting equality & diversity throughout the structures of our union. Our members are a diverse representation of the workplaces within our East Midlands communities. 

One of the key objectives of our union  is: 

"To promote equality at work for all, including actively opposing prejudice and discrimination on grounds of gender, ethnic origin, religion, class, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, caring responsibilities; and to pursue equal pay for work of equal value." 

Our Regional equalities committees are supported by Jess Honess, our Regional Equalities  Officer. 

The four equality committees are: 

• BAEM
• Disabled members
• LGBT
• Women

These committees meet on a quarterly basis. If you have any questions about equalities please contact Jess via email.
