Trade Unions Against Discrimination
While the topic of discrimination is very close to trade union hearts, there is a need to improve the intersectional dimension in the world of work.
The main objectives of the project are:
- 📢Raise awareness of the intersectional discrimination and contribute to the shift
of understanding of discrimination from a largely individual to a more structural
level - ⤴️Enhance the Trade Union capacity to detect and combat and prevent
discrimination at the workplace - 🤝Building synergies among Trade Unions and Civil Society Organisations
to mainstream equality at the workplace and to strengthen the workers
perspective in national and EU policymaking.
During 2 years (June 2023-May 2025), the ETUC will implement a number of actions in cooperation with its affiliates but also external experts from civil society and academia including :
- the organisation of 5 learning seminars focusing on a specific theme (disability, racism, gender, ageism, LGTBQIA+)
- the production of a compendium of best practices that can be applied at the workplace to detect,
tackle and prevent discrimination at the workplace but also policy recommendations for decision-makers on national and EU level that will
contribute to the implementation of “A Union of equality: EU anti-racism action plan 2020-25”
