Emix

Organising black, Asian and minority ethnic TSSA members

Aim: To represent the views of the members of all levels of the movement.

Despite the existence of Equal Opportunities Legislation in the UK for over 30 years, inequality in the workplace and the wider labour market still exist.

E-MIX aims to build the role of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic members to all representative levels of the Association.

• To promote positive equality
• Combat workplace discrimination
• Fight racism and fascism in the work place and in the community.
• Increase awareness and benefits of diversity in the community.
