Bradford college joins dozens of others in signing ‘Dying to work’ charter

A YORKSHIRE college is one of the latest employers to sign a TUC charter aimed at protecting workers suffering a terminal illness.

The “Dying to Work” charter is part of the trade-union organisation’s campaign to win greater security for terminally ill workers so that they cannot be dismissed as a result of their condition.

Bradford College in west Yorkshire signed the charter on Wednesday, joining employers such as Rolls Royce, Royal Mail and the Co-op.
