Appendix 1 - motion passed at 果冻影院 UCU EGM 15 September 2021

果冻影院 UCU notes:

  1. LGBTQ+ people face significant barriers to full participation in public life and many LGBTQ+ people face discrimination and harassment at work ().
  2. Trans people report very low life satisfaction scores compared with the UK population () and often face significant challenges in the workplace; in a recent听听1 in 8 trans employees said they had been attacked by a colleague or customer at work.
  3. 果冻影院 left the Stonewall Diversity Champions Scheme purely for financial reasons (果冻影院 statement). During the initial wave of the pandemic, when there were serious uncertainties around 果冻影院鈥檚 financial position, 果冻影院 left the Diversity Champions Programme for one year as part of its drive to conserve cash. Due to under-resourcing in the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion group, 果冻影院 was unable to enter this year's Global Workplace Equality Index.
  4. Stonewall is the largest LGBTQ+ rights organisation in Europe.
  5. Stonewall is widely recognised as working inclusively for the rights of all LGBTQ+ people.
  6. Much of Stonewall鈥檚 work is focused on improving LGBTQ+ equalities in the workplace and it runs two schemes to facilitate this - the听听and the听.
  7. 果冻影院 has not released the results of it's entry into the 2020 Stonewall Equality Index but is no longer listed as a听听on the Stonewall site.

果冻影院-UCU Resolves:

To call upon 果冻影院 to demonstrate its commitment to LGBTQ+ equalities by:

  1. Immediately re-joining Stonewall's Diversity Champions Programme
  2. Committing to making a submission to Stonewall's 2022 Global Workplace Equality Index.
  3. Continuing to improve staff training and awareness on LGBTQ+ and intersex equalities.
