"The Covid pandemic has laid bare the many inequalities faced by BAME people at work and elsewhere, and the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests helped pushed the issue of racism to the fore. The need for action in the workplace is clear: BAME people are less likely than white people to be employed in good, permanent jobs, and when in work they often suffer racist treatment in all aspects of their employment. Trade union reps have a key role to play in negotiating workplace policies, practices and actions to improve race equality at work. They are also uniquely well placed to help BAME colleagues tackle racist harassment and abuse. This booklet sets out the key legal, negotiating and organising tools for achieving this, along with examples on where it is already being done"
