The fight for gender equality and non-discrimination is part and parcel of trade union work. Women represent the largest share of workers in many LRG professions. Together with other workers in vulnerable situations (e.g. disabled, elderly, LGBTI, racialised, migrant, refugees, indigenous, etc.) they face multiple, cumulative layers of discrimination (reflected in the concept of “intersectionality”) and bear the brunt of the precariousness, and of the poor working conditions of many LRG jobs.
