On Wednesday 7th October, the TUC hosted the workshop 'Practical Steps for Ending Sexual Harassment in the Workplace' for union reps, facilitated by the Workers Policy Project. Dr Ruth Beresford and co-author Dr Bob Jeffrey (Sheffield Hallam University) presented early findings from their latest research, outlining the barriers to talking about and reporting workplace sexual harassment, the risk factors that increase vulnerability to harassment, and union campaigning and activism to challenge it.
The event was opened by Kate Bell, Assistant General Secretary of the TUC, and closing speeches were delivered by John McDonnell MP and Ian Hodson (President of the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union). Further information on the event is available .
