Great to join NEU Black Educators on their Preventing Prevent panel at National Education Union conference. Especially lovely to see some familiar faces sarah woolley❤️ #NEU2023

Really looking forward to hearing from this awesome trade union warrior Trades Union Congress black workers’ conference this weekend. Christian Smalls

Our delegate Jenny Christopher asking TUC General Secretary Paul Nowak what will be the TUC’s response if we do have a change in government #TUCBWC23

First time NEU delegate Rizwana Shelley speaking on the cost of living crisis. This is particularly poignant for our members during pay dispute. A pay increase will help hugely on easing the burden on working people to pay their bills and meet rising living costs #TUCBWC23

Our Black Exec Rep and rep on the TUC Race Relations Committee Denise Henry (She/her) speaking on motion 2; ‘building an Anti-Racist Movement’ and using the NEU Anti-Racist Framework as an important example of how Unions are challenging racial inequality #TUCBWC

NEU delegate Paramjeet Singh Bhogal moving our motion on ‘Tackling institutional Racism’. It is important for the TUC to be robust in its use of the Equality Duty Toolkit #TUCBWC23

Our president @louiseatkinso14 speaking on underreporting of racism. 2/5 Black workers experience racism in the workplace, yet 4/5 do not report it. Horrific figures that we must work to tackle now #TUCBWC23

Thank you Dr Patrick Roach for congratulating Daniel Kebede for his recent election as GS of the National Education Union Putting yourself forward as a Black Trade Unionist for leadership positions is hard. It takes courage. But it is vital in ensuring our movement is representative!

NEU delegate Charmaine Lee seconding TSSA motion on pay disparity. The TUC must push for all employers to publish their ethnicity figures. Well done Charmaine for such an impassioned speech! #TUCBWC23

Paramjeet is now seconding Musicians' Union motion on mandatory equalities monitoring for all employers. This will be necessary in holding employers to account on issues of discrimination #TUCBWC23

Thank you Rizwana for supporting the CWU motion and highlighting the importance of a community cohesion strategy at a local authority level to create a roadmap for change #TUCBWC23

Thank you NEU delegate Sam Makinde for seconding the UCU motion at #TUCBWC23 and emphatically demanding that the lived experience of migrant workers is central to policy making!

And now a panel with the great Christian Smalls #TUCBWC23
