Preparing for a class with UsdawUnion Black Leadership programme tomorrow, searching for #ColouredSeamensUnion found this wonderful RMT resource written by S.I. Martin who I worked with when I was at Anti-Slavery International rmt.org.uk/news/publicati…


It was lovely to meet the UsdawUnion Black Leadership Programme yesterday. During the visit we discussed race, class, trade unions & the threat of the far-right. Also incl. our Black Trade Union Oral History Project (Wilf & Chi) #BreakingDownBarriers




Very excited to publish interviews by Paul Griffin from Geog & Env Sciences about Unemployed Workers' Centres that were set up across the UK in response to political & economic policies in the 1980s. Testimony that links ideas of community, support and resistance tinyurl.com/2hey92ey
