90th Anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street – to honour the past and shape the future
Sunday 4 October 2026 is the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street when ordinary men, women, and some feisty children, literally stood shoulder to shoulder in the East End of London determined that organised fascists would not march through their community.

Unions are building a fairer Britain, pushing for unity over division
The TUC Equality Audit, published every two years, is an essential yardstick and benchmarking tool with which we can measure our collective efforts. This year’s equality audit focuses on what steps unions have taken in the last four years to promote equality in their membership, structures and processes, and to ensure they reflect the diversity of our membership.
