Unison salutes the Cuban people on the sixtieth anniversary of revolution

UNISON delegates saluted the Cuban people on the 60th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution today.

The trade union pledged solidarity against Donald Trump’s “cruel and illegal” blockade of Cuba at its annual conference and voted to campaign for an end to the US blockade of Cuba, which began in 1962.

Delegates also demanded that the Trades Union Congress (TUC) develop a strategy to persuade Westminster to implement measures preventing British companies from enforcing the blockade.
