“Staffordshire UNISON is disturbed and disappointed by the decision of Reform, the ruling political party of the County Council to remove LGBT+ materials from public prominence in Libraries across Staffordshire.

UNISON stands in solidarity with all people being oppressed and refuses to accept that any restriction in access to educational and health promoting positive information is ever justifiable.”
