Year of Disabled Workers

UNISON has made 2022 the Year of Disabled Workers.

UNISON want to use these 12 months to highlight the experience of our disabled members, the value they bring to our union and to the workplace, and to call for better enforcement of legal rights including the right to reasonable adjustments at work.

UNISON has around 200,000 disabled members and is the union for disabled workers. Over the 12 months, we aim to:

• Raise awareness of the social model of disability and the importance of changes to the workplace and working practices
• Explain what the disability pay gap and disability employment gap mean and how they can be addressed
• Increase our members’ confidence to self-define as disabled
• Increase the number of disabled activists in our union
