Today, we remember the 144 lives lost in the Aberfan disaster — 116 children and 28 adults.
A community forever changed, a loss beyond measure. Our thoughts are with the families and all those whose lives were touched by that tragedy. ❤️

Cardiff Bay today: GMB met with Minister Jack Sargeant to raise serious concerns about Bidfood’s derecognition of GMB.
It’s a clear breach of the spirit of Welsh social partnership – workers deserve a voice, not a closed door.
We’re standing strong for fair work, real dialogue, and union rights.
