Last weekend, I was delighted to speak at The Great Pension Robbery, a rally organised by the Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) campaign. 

The Government has treated 3.8m women with disdain, implementing significant changes to pensions with no thought for the impact they would have on women who were born in the 1950s. Without the unrelenting work of WASPI campaigners, this unfairness would simply have been swept under the carpet.

“They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn,

But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn,

We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn,
That the Union makes us strong.

Solidarity Forever.”

Amber Rudd should stop the rollout of Universal Credit and end the hostile environment for low income households 

Hundreds of pupils, parents and staff in the North West face changes in the management of their schools when they return in September. 

The occasion of the TUC’s 150^th anniversary gives us the opportunity to step back and reflect on our movement’s past and future.

Workers who devote their working lives to providing quality public services deserve to be employed by organisations that share that same sole objective. 

We need an end to pay restraint on our terms.

The election gives us a chance to protect our services, jobs and well-being  

Our organising and campaigning will be important as we work to shape change for the good of our members and communities.
