🌈 Last month we launched UNISON's Year of LGBT+ Workers with an event at UNISON Centre. Featuring performances, workshops and a trip to Queer Britain, it was an opportunity to reflect on how far we've come and how much further we need to go in the fight for LGBT+ rights. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

These workers, many on very low pay, were not given a covid bonus as they supported health workers during the pandemic. Their employer thought them too poor to afford to strike.

✊ It's been a fortnight since ISS workers at Prospect Park Hospital in Reading first took strike action...

... do these workers look like they're ready to give up? ❌

This morning, UNISON South East regional secretary showed his solidarity on the picket line.

It was a pleasure to speak to UNISON South East’s Labour Link meeting. Lots of good questions about what a Labour government will do about housing, local government & working rights in our New Deal.
Very happy to sign the National Care Service pledge.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

💪 Great solidarity on the picket line today, with Oxfordshire UNISON Health branch's Rosita Ellis and Jane Lacey travelling down to Reading to stand shoulder to shoulder with strikers and demand ISS do the right thing and pay staff what they're owed.

It's International Women's Day! Today we honor the incredible struggle for women's equality, while acknowledging that the fight goes on – pay disparities, discrimination, and harassment at work still persist, and trade unions must play a vital role in challenging them.

LGBT+ history🤝 working-class history. Here's a lovely story from the South East.

After the miners' strike, UNISON's precursor unions NALGO and NUPE worked alongside the NUM and activists for the inclusion of LGBT+ rights in the Labour Party manifesto.
