We fully support the campaign to end Zero Hours Contracts. The BBC just reported that this could cost businesses £2.9bn. This is because businesses have undervalued workers for years and creamed off profit. End ZHC now!

Emergency Composite 1: Oppose the EHRC Code of Practice (Services, Public Functions and Associations)
 
This Conference notes the issuing of new guidance on the implications of the Supreme Court Judgement of April 2025 on Thursday 21st May 2026.  
Conference unequivocally condemns the EHRC’s proposed Code of Practice as a direct attack on LGBT+ equality. 
Conference believes: 
A. That trans, non-binary and gender diverse people are entitled to be treated with equal dignity at work and in wider society.  
B. The new guidance is discriminatory and unworkable and effectively excludes trans people from swathes of public life including working life. 
C. The law must be changed 
D. The Code: 
• seeks to legitimise exclusion,  
• erodes longstanding protections under the Equality Act 2010 and Gender Recognition Act 2004 
• Represents a regressive and dangerous interpretation of the law 
• Places trans, non-binary and gender no-conforming people at heightened risk of discrimination, humiliation, and denial of services. 
 Conference resolves to: 
1. call on the TUC to campaign to introduce a process of gender self-declaration. 
2. campaign so trans people have equal civil rights and justice in the workplace. 
3. Call on all affiliates to challenge exclusionary guidance. 
4. Coordinate lobbying including MP engagement and influencing the General Council   
5. working with LGBT+ organisations to challenge the Code. 
 Trans rights are human rights: conference calls on all affiliates to publicly, actively defend this without compromise.

BREAKING 🚨| Joint #StrikeMap x @nhsworkerssayno.bsky.social statement on the incredible re-banding and backpay win for Phlebotomists at Homerton Hospital 💉🩸 "We re-affirm our unwavering solidarity with the Gloucestershire phlebotomists and call on their Trust to settle. 1/3
Strike Map logo. Text reads: HOMERTON PHLEBOTOMISTS WIN! Good Enough for Homerston, Good Enough for Gloucester. NHS Workers Say No logo.As health workers across grades, disciplines, and unions, we'd like to extend our congratulations to the phlebotomists at Homerton Hospital in London for their victory on rebanding and backpay this week.  Like many NHS workers, phlebotomists all over the country have spent years performing clinical work above their grade and this new victory in London, after similar victories in Swansea, Hertfordshire, and Merseyside, re-confirms the recognition of phlebotomy as, at least, a Band 3 role.This outcome makes it all the more appalling that Gloucestershire Hospitals Trust has still not settled what is now the longest running strike in NHS history. The Trust, under the leadership of CEO Kevin McNamara - who left his previous Trust in the wake of allegations of bullying - has refused to recognise their phlebotomists' legitimate claims and instead worked tirelessly the break the strike and undermine the phlebotomists' position.  We re-affirm our unwavering solidarity with the Gloucestershire phlebotomists and call on their Trust to settle.  If it's good enough for Homerton, it's good enough for Gloucester!  Victory to the Gloucestershire plebotomists!
