It is unlawful to discriminate on the grounds of sex, race, transexuality or
disability in terms of the offer of a job, promotion or access to benefits. You
do not need to have worked for any particular length of time to get these
rights. If you believe that you are being discriminated against at work,
contact your GMB representative
immediately. Do not delay, as there is a time limit for pursuing claims.
You have the right not to be victimised. Section 4 of the Sex Discrimination
Act, section 55 of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and section 2 of the
Race Relations Act protect anyone victimised either because they have brought
proceedings under the Acts or alleged that an act of discrimination has been
committed. If you feel that this is happening due to your previous complaints,
contact your GMB representative
.
