LGBT+ workers are lowering their expectations of working life to cope with ongoing discrimination and harassment, according to a new report published by the TUC (Trade Union Congress).
The report is based on in-depth interviews with a diverse range of LGBT+ people and union reps, working in jobs across the economy.
Common themes and experiences that emerged are:
LGBT+ people have low expectations – Most respondents pointed to improvements over time, but LGBT+ workers still have low expectations for how they will be treated at work. Workers described feeling “lucky” if they have inclusive managers and colleagues, and “grateful” when basic equality standards are met. Everyone could easily recall recent instances of workplace homophobia, biphobia and transphobia, including many which would constitute gross misconduct.
