The rate of unemployment for disabled people is double compared to their non‑disabled counterparts.
Discrimination against disabled people is unlawful. It's time to ask your employer to make a commitment to supporting disabled employees by signing the charter.

The trade union movement must always stand against bigotry, discrimination, and prejudice in whatever form it takes.
That’s why our union and our members work closely with organisations like Show Racism the Red Card @SRTRC_England and HOPE not Hate @hopenothate to ensure that these forces don’t take root.
Every trade unionist has an important role to play - solidarity is a vital means for ensuring hate doesn’t thrive.
