Trade unionists look after people at work and in the community. There are 1.4 million disabled trade unionists. There is a big trade union meeting starting Sunday and ending Wednesday called the TUC (Trades Union Congress)
That meeting is discussing lots of different things (motions) and voting on them. If you are a member of a trade union you might know someone who is going, called your delegate. You might want to talk to them about the following:

One of the speakers is from Disabled People Against Cuts and the lobby is asking the TUC to support disability motions. More info.

Am hoping these will be agreed, they usually do.
How do we ensure they are taken forward into action, not just for disabled to do but in training, campaigns and comms
