THIS year’s TUC Congress is addressing the crucial issues facing working people in the entirely new situation of the pandemic. 

There are huge challenges — how to ensure that working people don’t bear the economic burden of the pandemic; how to protect jobs and prevent mass unemployment; how to hold government to account for its catastrophic failure to protect people from the virus. 

While we want to end the insecurity and limits of the pandemic, many of us don’t want to go back to how things were before, to a reality already blighted by a decade of austerity and increasing inequality.
