Celebrate Black History Month 2024 with an event sponsored by Vaughan Gething MS.
TUC Cymru are launching a new toolkit for reps to combat racism in the workplace.
"As trade unionists we share values of anti-racism, equity and social justice. It is important to us that we campaign and organise to make our workplaces and community spaces fairer for us all.
Our history informs our present.
Whilst many workplaces are taking positive steps to improve, some are not safe or equal places. Action is needed to build and deliver positive, inclusive change. Unions are key to delivering these changes through collective bargaining, negotiation, and organised action.
We’re choosing to stand up against racism and hate wherever we find it. We’re confident in our common values of respect and equality for all people in Wales.
We know how harmful racism is to people and to our communities. We’ve spoken to government, we’ve informed policies, we’ve made many changes and plans.
Now is the time to act so that we can make genuine moves towards anti-racism". Shavanah Taj, General Secretary, TUC Cymru
