- Check that your employer has not already signed
- Involve your union
- Encourage your employer to sign the voluntary charter
- Inform the TUC
- Sign the Charter
Jacci's story
Union member Jacci’s job had only been saved when her union threatened to publicly expose the firm. She said “I was actually astounded about what HR asked. It was all about capability, capability, capability - no concern for me as their employee and no apparent care that I was dying”.
Latest #dyingtowork campaign news…
Many thanks for raising #dyingtowork campaign, its much appreciated. This is such an important issue. As we say, this is about right and wrong not left and right. Let's spread the voluntary charter to more employers and get that legal loophole closed.

Great! A change in the law is long overdue to protect terminally ill workers from dismissal. This campaign started in the Midlands with GMB & TUC. Many different employers have signed up but arts organisations in receipt of public money have not. @TUCMidlands #dyingtowork
