# EQUALITY & DIVERSITY

I ❤️ UNITEWM7015 Equality is a fundamental right, and our structures need to be reflective of the diversity of our members and wider society.

UNITE has a pivotal role to play in helping to create working conditions that are fair to all workers.

The Equality Act 2010 (and equivalent in Northern Ireland) provides protection for our members from racial discrimination and harassment and the opportunity to promote race equality.

UNITE will continue to strive for equal opportunities for all our members
