Southend Unison was kept busy at Southend Pride with interested members of the public and existing Unison members visiting the stall for information, advice, or just a chat.
The Branch has been a major supporter of Southend Pride since its inception last year. The Branch, along with Southend Pride’s Committee, believes it is important that Southend Pride remains a fully inclusive community and political event, creating a safe space, especially amid the rise in far right rhetoric and LGBT+ hate crimes.
The Branch’s very visible support and presence demonstrates that Unison is a safe environment for all its members, and gives a voice to those struggling in the workplace or community.
If members are interested in joining the Branch’s LGBT+ Group, or need advice, information or support on any LGBT+ issues, contact Sam Adams in the Unison office on 01702 215980.
