A LOT HAS changed politically since the turn of the century. Unfortunately what has been largely consistent is a continuing decline in union density. 

Will the TUC Congress in Brighton be a place for our union leaderships to really debate out how we tackle the problems we face and how we try to address them as a movement? Or will the Congress will be a space where many worthy motions are passed but lacking serious discussion on what we need to do differently?

Some factors are outside of our control — AI and a changing employer landscape, to name but two — there are few more important battles than the one GMB is fighting at Amazon for recognition.
