NEW: ORG's report sets out the need for Digital Sovereignty. UK national security teeters on our over-reliance on a handful of foreign-owned tech firms, meaning the plug could be pulled on our digital infrastructure. We need to pursue open source systems that are in our control. Find out more ⬇️

New report: UK needs digital sovereignty strategy to address threats from reliance on big tech
The UK’s over-reliance on a small number of tech giants for its digital infrastructure is a matter of national security that must be urgently addressed, warns a new report by Open Rights Group.

The problem with hiring a global union-busting firm is that the more they use the 'playbook' the more it becomes known, and then the easier it is to innoculate working people against big businesses telling them that unions are bad for them.

We stand with our trans comrades. #Trans #TransRights #Union
The trans pride colours tint a concrete texture. The UTAW logo in black is above the words, "UTAW stands with our trans comrades" and "Read our full statement below".Against the trans pride colours, the following text is displayed above the UTAW logo:

"At UTAW, we’re deeply concerned by the implications that this judgement will have on the LGBT+ community. 

We also worry that the rushed and ill-informed guidance that is being released by the Equality and Human Rights commission will cause more serious harm to  the trans community - and will likely be unworkable in practice.

We’ll be continuing to campaign and fight for our trans comrades both in the workplace and outside. If you’re having problems at work, talk to your union rep."
