A message from our retired branch secretary Gordon Glassford about a Corby Trades Council public meeting in October on the subject of ‘Corby Deserves More’ :
 Corby Trades Council once played a key role in the area's industrial relations and it would be good to connect with trade unionists to support their campaigns again.
In recent weeks Corby CLP have been in touch with Lee Barron, TUC's Regional Secretary, and agreed to hold a re-launch meeting of the Corby Trades Council, the details are below: GMB Northants Community Branch and Corby Town Council held an event to mark Workers Memorial Day 2022 in Corby on Saturday 30th April 2022. The event was a great success and commemorated International Workers Memorial Day, below are some photos from the event.  Every year more people are killed at work than in wars. Most don't die of mystery ailments, or in tragic "accidents". They die because an employer decided their safety just wasn't that important a priority. International Workers’ Memorial Day (IWMD) 28 April commemorates those workers.  On Saturday the 30th April 2022 at 11am, we will hold a Workers Memorial Day Event in Corby at the STEELWORKER STATUE James Ashworth VC Square, Outside The Cube CORBY, Northants, more information below:
