Unions to contain religion teams in ‘shared mission’
A
new commerce union religion and perception community is being launched to encourage dialogue between unions, religion organisations and group teams.
The TUC mentioned the intention is to discover frequent floor on the dignity of labour and commerce union rights, and in-work poverty.
The community can be launched on the TUC Congress in Liverpool on Monday.
TUC president Maria Exall mentioned: “Unions want to work more closely with faith organisations and local groups to find long-term solutions to the social and political challenges our communities are facing.
“This new coalition will bring together community activists and trade unions to support real-terms pay rises, an end to food poverty, a reduction in energy bills, decent homes for all and an increase in taxation on those at the top end of society.”
NASUWT basic secretary Dr Patrick Roach mentioned: “There is much common ground between the work faith and community organisations and trade unions are doing to campaign for a dignified and decent standard of living for all in our society.
“Our communities are stronger when we work together, united in common purpose, and the launch of the network is part of our shared mission to secure a better deal for workers and families.”
