Black Unison members condemn slow pace of change in the fight against racism

BLACK workers condemned today the slow pace of change in too many workplaces.

Unison National Black Members committee’s Annette Hislop told the conference that preserving the legacy of the Year of the Black Member was “paramount” because “black workers still faced massive barriers.”

She said that change was still too slow and the experiences of black members needed to be listened to and “our voices amplified.”
