Hello all, Cathy here (Co-Comms & Media Officer) with live updates from the @stonewalluk Workplace Conference in London!
Really pleased to be representing @UoEStaffPride today. Looking forward to bringing my learning back to Edinburgh to share w/ my colleagues. #BeingLGBTQatWork
As some of you know, I’m a @ucuedinburgh/@ucutheunion member & have been on strike this week. I’m not striking today so that I can represent @UoEStaffPride & share my experience of current issues facing equality, diversity & inclusion efforts in the #highereducation sector. #EDI
As explained in this letter from @UoEBAME, @UoEREN, @dsn_edi, @UoEStaffPride, Womxn of Colour Collective & @ucuedinburgh, Edinburgh Uni senior mgmt cannot claim commitment to #EDI without working to resolve ongoing #FourFights & Pension Cuts disputes: tinyurl.com/44uymwdn
To put it simply, HE staff are struggling to promote equality, diversity and inclusion in their workplaces when senior management are as yet unwilling to meet @ucu's reasonable demands for fairness and equality for HE employees.
I’m looking forward to meeting new people today who are committed to championing #EDI in their workplaces despite such barriers. I hope to gain insights from HE sector colleagues & those working in other sectors.
#BeingLGBTQatWork @stonewalluk
Many thanks to @EdSust for contributing funds that made my participation today possible. I’ll be tweeting throughout the day with takeaways from workshops and other events!
- Cathy 🏳️‍🌈☀️
