CHANGE is coming. Covid-19 has seen to that. It’s coming to every aspect of our economy and working lives and left unchecked, in the hands of hard right, free-market ideologues it will bring unemployment, poverty, ill-health and misery at levels not seen since the 1920s.
Our immediate challenge, our duty as trade unionists, is to build a confident, powerful movement capable of shaping that change and ensuring working people and our communities are at its heart, not its victims for a generation or more to come.
