Disability and Work

Disabled people continue to face severe barriers to participation and equality across society: unions can help to challenge these by tackling discrimination at work, by negotiating good policy and ensuring that employers adopt a positive approach to the employment of disabled people. From April 2011 a new, single public sector equality duty incorporated the previous disability equality duty, with a significant change of approach. This new edition of Disability and Work not only explains the new law, it also highlights good practice on the issues that union representatives are likely to be faced with in the workplace.
