TUC Cymru and Welsh language campaigners have joined forces to protect workers’ rights to use Welsh in the workplace.
Cymdeithas yr Iaith and the union body signed a memorandum of understanding to promote common principles such as fair work, equality and social justice on Thursday.
Dr Mandy James of TUC Cymru said she was “very excited” about the partnership which will focus on supporting and promoting the rights of workers to use Welsh in the workplace… as part of a broader agenda of fair work, equality and social justice.”
Cymdeithas yr Iaith argues healthy communities, based upon sustainable work, fair wages, and reasonable living standards, are essential if Welsh is to thrive as a natural language.
Siân Howys, chairwoman of its Welsh Language Rights Group, said: “To achieve the aim of normalising Welsh in the workplace, we have agreed upon common objectives.”
These included awareness raising, supporting fair treatment for workers and promoting language-learning opportunities.
