Thank you UNISON Essex for inviting me to take part in your #BlackHistoryMonth discussion night on power and pride. Really rich conversations on challenging racism and the power of collective action ✊🏾

UNISON members working as therapists and counsellors are on strike as @mind.org.uk are refusing to pay them the correct salary. All they are asking for is to paid the same as those in the NHS doing exactly the same job. Waiting lists are going up. Mind must stop exploiting their workers!

Great to be with some of UNISON Eastern’s best young activists, our General Secretary, equalities activists from across the union and former colleagues who are now MPs to celebrate UNISON’s successful campaigns for equality in the workplace and beyond.

Been at UNISON Eastern’s annual OneUNISON weekend - branch officer training, member learning and celebrations of the region’s many successes last year! 140 passionate and political members attended and I had pleasure of training our six newest branch secretaries 🌟

With UNISON Eastern colleagues and friends at Labour East Conference discussing 🌹 government’s work implementing long standing UNISON policy on improved workplace rights, repeal of anti-union laws, national care service and better pay for school support staff.
