Government must come clean over scale of crumbly concrete in schools
Responding to the announcement today (Tuesday) that the number of confirmed cases of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) in schools in England has increased to 174, UNISON head of education Mike Short said: “Many involved in education suspect ministers still aren’t revealing the true scale of this growing problem. “At-risk schools remain in the dark as they wait for inspections.

Blog: In the campaign for equal pay, UNISON stands firmly on the frontline
The pursuit of equal pay is part of UNISON’s daily battle against deeply entrenched biases and systemic inequalities. We’re driven by our commitment to break free of stereotypes that undervalue workers. And we are unrivalled in our successes. You only have to look at the Glasgow equal pay victory to understand our strength. We’ve won the most equal pay cases, we’ve won the most money for members, and we don’t take a cut from the payouts. It’s a fundamental issue of fairness that every worker deserves equal pay for work of equal value. However, despite years of progress, many workers – and particularl...
