😂 OUT OF OFFICE: ACTIVATED! 📴 After what feels like approximately 47 conferences, 183 meetings and several thousand social media posts… I’m officially ON LEAVE! I’ll be back on Monday 12th October. Until then… if it looks urgent, it probably isn’t.

💜💚 October is #BlackHistoryMonth — a time to reflect, learn and amplify Black voices. As trade unionists, we must challenge racism and build a movement where everyone is valued and represented. ✊ Solidarity means standing together against racism.

Last week, more than 20,000 council workers in Glasgow were threatened with dismissal in the biggest single act of fire and rehire in British history. ‘No worker… should ever again be told to accept worse terms and conditions or lose your job’ Louise Noble, UNISON Scotland tells Labour conference.
