This will make such a huge difference to our members. Doing all we can to poverty proof pay. Our national pay bargaining should have this embedded within it. Hopefully more employers will follow.
Very proud to see @NewcastleHosps become an accredited #LivingWage employer. UNISON has long campaigned on this and I’m pleased to have led our @UnisonNUTH campaign and to see this become a reality. Thanks to everyone who made this happen.

Today is Transgender Day of Visibility. Where we recognise and celebrate trans and gender non-conforming people. But, also to combat transphobia, discrimination, bullying and harassment.

It’s incredibly humbling to be part of the Women in Westminster 100 list.
It makes me think of the hundreds of women who have supported and inspired me throughout my journey in the trade union movement.
I hope I can also inspire more women to get to the top of their professions, and to take up more roles in politics and public life. It’s hard work, but by recognising each other’s achievements, women become an even bigger force to be reckoned with.
