AS trade unions in the north-west come together for the regional TUC conference, it’s an opportunity for us to look at what we’ve achieved in the past year and set our course for the challenges ahead.
When conference met back in Liverpool in 2022, the P&O dispute was in its infancy. The cost-of-living crisis was biting, but our response was still developing. It would have been difficult to imagine what would follow as we debated what needed to be done.
