Scottish government ensure LGBT+ rights are not forgotten or pushed back, trade unionists demand

THE Scottish government must ensure that LGBT+ rights are not forgotten or pushed back again, trade unionists have demanded.

Ahead of its 10th annual conference this weekend, the STUC’s LGBT+ workers’ group said that Scotland’s most diverse parliament must champion issues affecting LGBT+ workers. 

The committee says that dithering and delay has helped create a toxic environment that has “pushed trans rights back further in Scotland.”
