The toolkit is aimed as a practical resource for taking into workplaces.

1 April 2022

Dear NEF, REOs, regional strand leads, National Officers;

The brand new GMB Trans and Non-binary toolkit is now live to mark Trans Day of Visibility! Find it at https://www.gmb.org.uk/trans-non-binary-equality-work-toolkit.

The toolkit has been developed with a group of trans and non-binary GMB activists, incorporating elements and inspiration from the 2014 Trans toolkit. It comes on the back of activist calls for further work in this area, including Congress motions and the 2018 Central Executive Council statement to Congress on supporting trans workers.

The toolkit is aimed as a practical resource for taking into workplaces. The model workplace policy is available as an editable document for activists to negotiate uptake, with any necessary amendments relevant locally, with employers. Sharing the toolkit visibly reminds our members and potential members that we are here for all workers, including those belonging to underrepresented and oppressed groups.

Please circulate to branches, SOGs, at trades council - etc – and let us know of any feedback, suggestions, questions and successes!

You can share the news on social media by RTing: twitter.com/GMB_union/status/1509450318798635010 or sharing the facebook post: Facebook.

Many thanks to every activist, staff member and officer who has supported this work: I'm really proud of it.

All the best,

Eleanor
