Steel is a fundamental part of Britain’s history and economy and has built the country we know today. However, the steel industry is under threat by cheap imports, rising energy costs and a lack of government support, so we’re standing up for Britain’s steel industry and communities to secure the investment and support they need.

No one should have to go to work to be assaulted, however for 1 in 4 justice, custodial and immigration workers, that is a daily reality. We’re campaigning to introduce much needed protections so our members don’t have to go to work in fear of being a victim.

For too long, early years professionals, nursery workers and nannies have gone without the recognition, pay or funding that they deserve. We’re putting pressure on government to recognise and resolve these issues.

Too many people don’t understand what it means to be self-employed or freelance, including the issues that they face. We’re campaigning to secure better rights for the 5 million self-employed workers in the UK, including sick pay, paid parental leave, extensions to health and safety rights, as well as changes to pensions and universal credit so they work for the self-employed.
