Community Union held its 2026 Biennial Delegates Conference last week.
Members gathered from across the UK to attend the three-day event, which was held at the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport.
Helmed by our NEC President Reg Gutteridge, delegates voted on motions championing workers’ rights and also attended fringe events, a BBQ, and a Q&A from a trio of Welsh rugby players.
Take a look at the highlights from our #StrongUnionStrongFuture conference here:
