WE meet at TUC women’s conference this week, in the TUC’s 151st year at Congress House, under the banner of “Solidarity in sisterhood.”
Conference will be chaired by Usdaw’s Su Patel, a longstanding member of the TUC’s women’s committee.
We will both celebrate our achievements and our successes as well as setting our agenda for the women’s movement in the year ahead, the order paper covering issues as diverse as the gender pay gap, maternity provisions, women’s poverty, safety and mental health as well as opposing the far right and the international perspective.
