Employers should have a zero-tolerance policy on racism in the workplace following the increase in racist abuse since the European referendum, the TUC has urged.
Firms were pressed to have a system in place so workers could report discrimination or abuse.
The TUC said zero-tolerance and anti-discrimination policies should be promoted, such as Transport for London’s well-publicised policy of prosecuting anyone who abuses staff.
TUC general secretary Frances O’Grady said: “Despite progress reducing xenophobia and racism in Britain, we are a long way from eradicating it. And the recent surge in racist incidents since the Brexit vote is deeply disturbing.”
