Details Of Our National Conference
Saturday 14th January

Hello members and supporters,

Less than two days to go until our National Conference! We hope you can join us. This is a really important conference where we will hear from a range of great speakers from across the movement and get a chance to discuss and debate our fightback.

During the morning session there will be a panel session on Fighting For Our NHS & Social Care and we will hear from workers and leading figures from the front line who are battling to protect and save our NHS & Social Care. Following this, there will be a session on Building Trade Union Solidarity where we will hear from key Trade Unionists who are leading the current waves of strikes and industrial actions around the country.
