This #HeartUnions week, I want to say thank you to all trade unionists working hard to keep people safe in the workplace during the pandemic, fighting for better pay and better terms & conditions at work.
The trade union movement was born to give people power in the workplace, in our economy and in our society. And over the course of the last year I’ve seen first hand just how much our unions care about their members.
I’ve worked with Usdaw Union to try and protect warehouse and distribution workers from unsafe practices, Unite the union and GMB Union to try and prevent the use of awful fire and rehire tactics in numerous workplaces, and The Communications Union to try and stop compulsory redundancies at BT.
Trade unions show the power of coming together and organising collectively, that when we come together there’s very little we can’t achieve. Find the right trade union for you here: tuc.org.uk/joinaunion
