This is a ray of light. An articulate and thoughtful reflection on TUC Motion 17 from this Unison branch - demonstrating the kind of approach unions should be taking on this issue (and generally aren't...)

Woman of the Day Mary Lily Walker (1863-1913) of Dundee. One of the first women to be educated with men at university, her focus was on the poor. Dundee then had the highest infant mortality rate in the UK; one in five babies died before their first birthday.

Mary used her own money to set up the first-ever Restaurant for Nursing Mothers. Mothers were supplied with nourishing meals and could feed their babies. Infant mortality plummeted by 300% and the initiative was adopted by the city’s Medical Officer.

She was the first to gather evidence on housing and the health of women working in Dundee's jute factories, laid the foundations for a health visiting service, created after-school clubs, and helped establish a women’s hospital. Her influential statement on housing in Dundee for the Royal Commission on Housing in Scotland led to a scheme providing cheap rents for the poor.

Mary died four days before her 50th birthday. Her funeral was “one of the largest seen in Dundee for a considerable time.”

It is deeply insulting to those nursing the sick through the pandemic to claim they shared the neglectful attitude of some in the Cabinet.

@unisontheunion has written to @Mike_Fabricant to express our serious concerns about his comments and to request their retraction.
