Today marks the start of #BlackHistoryMonth
It is a month we learn, celebrate and are re-energised by the many vital contributions Black Britains have made and continue to make across our country.
Black history is British history. ✊🏾

The government backtracked on enshrining the Ethnicity Pay Gap into law earlier this month, showing how broken its moral compass is.
@GMBLondonRegion@GMBRACE has instead been working with @UKLabour in power locally & regionally to step up & show leadership.

Our @GMBRACE@GMBSouthern campaign on introducing Ethnicity Pay Gap takes another positive step forward!
The Greater London Authority (GLA) just passed our motion around Ethnicity Pay Gap - thanks to @LabourMarina & @unmeshdesai for leading this through London City Government.
Yesterday marked 75 years since the Empire Windrush arrived in the UK.
The #Windrush75 generation’s contribution to our country is immense – we owe them so much & must never forget how they have been treated.
It was fantastic to host a joint @gmbrace@LondonCoop event.
Proud to move @GMB_union motion on Enshrining Ethnicity Pay Gap reporting into Law at @The_TUC Black Workers’ Conference.

Thank you @SadiqKhan for supporting
@GMBLondonRegion members at Pilgrim’s Food Masters in Southall who are threatened with fire and rehire.
#FryerAndRehire is an outdated and savage attack on workers that has no place in today's world of work.
@GMBPoliticsLDN@GMB_union
Our members at Pilgrim foods, who supply @Tesco@sainsburys@waitrose are bravely battling against dirty, draconian, “Fire & Rehire” tactics by their employer. This week we launched our campaign in Parliament, now we push on. #FryerAndRehire#MembersFirst
Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
In the UK, we need only look at today's #CaseyReport to see how much work remains - the struggle continues. ✊🏾
Always remember👇🏾
