Tackling sexual harassment at work - a guide for union reps

Chapter 3

Working with others

[ch 3: page 32]

It is important for unions to have a high profile in combating sexual harassment. If there is more than one union represented in the workplace it is a good idea to work together. It may also be possible to work with external organisations that exist to fight harassment (see page 55).

Sexual harassment is an issue that involves a range of reps. Shop stewards can work with equality reps and health and safety reps on raising awareness of the issue in the workplace.
