Join GMB Northants as we go inside TUC Safety Connect 2025 in Leeds—a major national event bringing together trade union representatives, health & safety activists, and workplace organisers from across the UK.
 Every year, members from the TUC’s affiliated unions come together to debate what matters most to workers in protected equality groups.
From outsourcing to harassment at work, government policy to fair pay: what matters to you at work, and what can unions do to fix it?  The annual TUC Midlands Equalities Conference will be held this year at the TUC regional office, 47 Summer Lane, Birmingham, B19 3TH.
The conference will hear from national trade union speakers as well as from the various equality networks and committees in the midlands about their work.  Industrial Workers Against the Far-Right- In conversation with Ian Lavery MP - 4th September at 6pm
