We are very much looking forward to welcoming Paul NowakGeneral Secretary of the TUC to the event where he will be joining a great platform of speakers. The context of the event taking place at a time of growing economic uncertainty and in the immediate aftermath of local election results means that the message from our unions of economic justice and social inclusion will be very timely. Please encourage affiliate members and branches to attend what is a great day celebrating our movement.
