As a union we will always stand up for fairness and the rights of workers. Anti-union legislation is a threat to all working people. Add your name to the @The_TUC's petition ✊ teapaw.org/The_TUC/status/1613121…

Union week is a time spread the word about the importance of joining a trade union. We encourage you to talk to your colleagues about Bectu and the benefits of membership. The more members we have, the more effectively we can lobby, campaign and negotiate with employers.
