Enough is enough. The UK's biggest trade union @unisontheunion no longer supports women who don't want to undress in front of men at work. The Darlington Nurses have therefore faced no alternative but to start their own union to protect women in the workplace.

Their case, supported by the Christian Legal Centre, began when a man without warning, identifying as 'Rose' and backed by an NHS policy, began using the female changing room at Darlington Memorial Hospital.

The nurses raised concerns with HR, but instead of being supported, were told they needed to ‘broaden their mindset’ be more ‘inclusive’, 'compromise' and get 're-educated.'

The Darlington Nursing Union (DNU) is believed to be the first of its kind and has now been launched with three founding principles:

🚨Equality and respect for all workers regardless of their protected characteristics (including both gender reassignment and biological sex).

🚨Securing and defending workers’ rights, dignity and decency at the workplace (including in particular access to safe single-sex areas for changing and hygiene, and protecting women from inappropriate exposure to members of the opposite biological sex).

🚨The right to raise concerns about any genuine workplace issues without fear of retribution, and to have such concerns addressed promptly, constructively and reasonably.

The union is free and it can run alongside any other union membership. It is also not just for nurses and any healthcare professional can join.

If you are a worker who believes in biology, not trans ideology, and want women's spaces protected, don't suffer in silence, get in touch and join the Darlington Nursing Union (DNU).
