"I’m absolutely flabbergasted at what has happened. I (and my family) are so grateful for your efforts in achieving this result.
One very happy unison member!"

Today marks 6 years since the Grenfell Tower fire in which 72 men, women and children lost their lives.
The Grenfell Tower tragedy must not be forgotten, nor must justice for those who lost their lives, their loved ones or their homes 💚

Great meeting and for any of you thinking about next steps The Show Racism the Red Card ambassador trying is absolutely brilliant, thought provoking, challenging and really inspiring.
We are balloting members in Higher Education in targeted universities. The latest pay offer is a real terms pay cut and doesn’t match inflation. Don’t delay, vote yes in this ballot for the pay you deserve #RisingForBetterPay
