General Workers’ Union Equality Committee 

 
The General Workers' Union (GWU) Equality Committee stands firmly for equality for all.  The GWU Equality Committee invests in jobs and equal opportunities.  It strives to protect and improve the rights for everyone regardless of age, gender, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, political affiliation or social class.  It strives to reduce poverty and opposes bullying and harassment.  The equality committee encourages equality policies at the workplace and discusses with employers on how to improve their workplace in order to foster an environment which fosters equality.  We further promote statutory rights for union representatives (who make a real difference in the workplace) so they can attend conferences and trainings, which will strengthen their role in fostering a stronger working environment.  The GWU stands for unity because workers are stronger together.  A stronger workforce strengthens the business of the employers, which in turn results in a stronger economy for our country.
