GMB member, Ian Kemp, writes about the impact of coronavirus on mental health and calls for us to come together in these difficult times and hold employers and the Government to account, when it comes to protecting workers' mental health

I joined the GMB when I was working at a private secure hospital for people with learning disabilities, but at time I really didn’t feel like unions were that relevant to people like me.  

But now, at 52, as a Black, disabled, gay woman, working for a mental health nhs trust, I’m proud that both my union and my employer are constantly striving to champion equality in the workplace.
