The Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) has organised a digital event on the role of trade unions in the fight for LGBT+ equality as part of this year’s Pride month. ‘Pride in your union,’ which takes place on Thursday 25^th June, features a panel discussions with a wide range of speakers, plus a reading from Brian Merriman’s play Eirebrushed.

Fórsa official Andy Pike said the union was supporting the ICTU digital pride event, which highlights the invaluable role played by trade unions in the struggle for genuine equality for LGBT+ workers.

“The trade union movement has been crucial in securing LGBT+ workplace rights. The digital pride event provides an opportunity to explore the issues faced by the community and to discuss ways in which the movement can continue to build support for greater equality for LGBT+ workers,” he said.

Andy encouraged Fórsa members to take part and join in the discussion.
