    A statement from Unite Scotland's LGBT+ Committee on the comments made by Anas Sarwar on the GRA bill
    Unite The Union Scottish LGBT Committee strongly condemns the irresponsible and inappropriate comments made by Scottish Labour leader, Anas Sarwar and Deputy Leader Jackie Baillie on the reform of the GRA
The position of Unite has always been one of support for the trans community, and we have strenuously defended that position within the Labour Party
Unite believes that the strengthening and protection of the rights of trans people does not mean the rights of others will be diminished or affected. Trans people are a valued part of our society and contribute greatly in our workplaces and communities.
We would remind Mr Sarwar and Ms Bailie that the Labour Party is a representative of the broader trade union movement, which also supports the rights of trans people. The GRA is still awaiting Royal Assent in Scotland, and we are disappointed to see that the current Labour Government have shown no interest in defending Scottish democracy by instructing the Section 35 order to be overturned

    Well done to the Tunnocks family for making the difficult but right decision to close down & protect workers - their small factory just couldnโ€™t offer social distancing, but rather than deny it, theyโ€™ll pay workers 90% of their wages to keep workers & families safe.

    99% on the Glasgow Subway vote for strike action! Workers are increasingly being called in at short notice, leading to significant work-life pressures. Our members want assurances that family responsibilities & personal time will be respected. unitetheunion.org/news-events/neโ€ฆ
    Image is an illustration of the classic Glasgow orange subway car on a subway platform, it has a Unite the Union flame logo on the front of the car.

The text above reads "Unite members on the Glasgow Subway vote 99% for strike action on a 83% turnout"

The text below reads "The strike ballot is a last resort for a hardworking and loyal workforce. Our members are angry about the unfair duty rosters which have resulted in imposed shift changes at short notice. This is detrimental to our membersโ€™ work life balance. SPT should be in no doubt as to our membersโ€™ determination to have these rosters changed.โ€

    Another disgraceful #fireandrehire - this time on staff at Glasgow University. 88% of our members voted against these proposals. If management don't protect our T&C's, Unite members have the mandate & a ยฃ70 per day strike fund to take action.

    "@UKLabour need to show that theyโ€™re on the side of workers, theyโ€™re on the side of workers getting better pay. They need to show that theyโ€™re not on the side of profiteering and theyโ€™re not on the side of the rich getting richer." @UniteSharon
