Unified to strengthen our communities and make the workplace safe for all.

Russell Brand’s sentencing today is a relief – it shows that it is possible to for women to get some justice against powerful men who abuse them.

But it also laid bare the legal and social barriers that stop women from speaking out. Justice shouldn’t have taken over a decade.

[WorkersPolicyProject @workerspolicy]

We stand with the women who came forward against Brand, with Jo, and with every worker who has been let down. The institutional cover-ups must end. #EndNotDefend

[WorkersPolicyProject @workerspolicy]

Russell Brand has been convicted of rape and sexual assault. Three women he assaulted were at work, where they should have been kept safe. Brand isn’t an outlier. Jo’s story, from an employer signed up to a sexual harassment charter, is another example of institutional cover-ups.

[WorkersPolicyProject @workerspolicy]

Jo spoke up, but no one stepped in. We hear it time and again.

Govt partnerships with the hospitality sector to get young people into work is hugely welcome. Whilst most employers have brilliant records on keeping staff safe & treating them with respect reports of bullying and harassment in a select few should not go overlooked. 1/2

[Rebecca Long-Bailey @RLong_Bailey]

These figures are shocking.

72% of ground staff and 71% of cabin crew report verbal abuse at least every month. Even more alarming, 31% of ground staff and 42% of cabin crew say they have experienced physical assault. No worker should face abuse simply for doing their job. 1/2

"For some victims, sexual harassment ensures that they cant work in that sector. It doesn't just destroy livelihoods, it destroys lives"

[WorkersPolicyProject @workerspolicy]

Thank you, @johnmcdonnellMP for setting out the next steps for how we get to proper protections from sexual harassment, where unions and politicians work together on this vital issue

Brilliant workshop from Janet @hazardscampaign who has been highlighting the preventable risks that make sexual harassment more likely in the workplace.

[WorkersPolicyProject @workerspolicy]

Thank you, Ranjit @unionsolicitors for your session on the new prevention laws, how to apply it and where it falls short

[WorkersPolicyProject @workerspolicy]

Huge thanks to Dr Bob Jeffery and Dr Ruth Beresford for presenting their new research on how we understand workplace sexual harassment.

Which can sometimes be deliberately hard to recognise.

Today marks the anniversary of Suzy Lamplugh's disappearance. Had proper risk assessments been in place, the tragedy might have been avoided. Forty years on, protections for workers are still not fit for purpose.
