The new research from the TUC highlights how workers who are living with long covid are being failed by their employers, and makes a number of recommendations.

The MU supports these findings, particularly in relation to strengthening the Equality Act 2010 and making the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Disabled Persons (UNCRPD) enforceable within UK law.

You can read the full report and recommendations on the TUC’s website.
