It's a full house at this year's Regional Equality Conference! Looking forward to another 12 months of pushing our equality agenda forward and making a real change for our under-represented members!

Working people create the wealth in this country – but they are the ones who suffer falling living standards while fat cats lap up the cream. This needs to change. It's time to narrow the pay gap in our increasingly unequal society.

Whichever way we voted, we didn’t vote for Theresa May’s bad Brexit deal.

Just a flavour of the inspirational lunchtime demonstration by ISS workers at Kingston Hospital today. Despite management pressure they stood together and demanded the same terms and conditions as other NHS workers! This is just the beginning of this campaign - more to come.
