A recent TUC survey has revealed that over half (52%) of LGBT+ workers in the UK have faced bullying, harassment, or discrimination in the workplace over the past five years, with young individuals aged 18-24 particularly affected (65%). The study, which surveyed 1,001 LGBT+ employees, found that 37% reported hearing offensive jokes and 28% experienced homophobic, biphobic, or transphobic remarks. Alarmingly, 5% of respondents faced physical violence or intimidation due to their identity. TUC general secretary Paul Nowak emphasized the need for a cultural shift in workplaces and urged ministers to legislate stronger protections for LGBT+ employees, shifting the responsibility of preventing harassment from victims to employers. The reluctance to report incidents was notable, with only 16% of victims taking action, and many cited fears of being ignored. These findings underscore the urgent need for improved workplace rights and a supportive environment for all employees.
