Come to the 2020 NSSN conference (via Zoom!) (Click to enlarge: opens in new window)
2020 conference – Saturday 4 July 11am-2pm
Rob Williams, NSSN chair
The NSSN Conference is a vital forum for trade unionists to come together to discuss our experiences during these crisis-ridden times, and forge a strategy that protects our safety in the workplace, and defends our jobs and income.
The economic and health effects of the Covid-19 pandemic is showing on a daily basis that fighting union organisation is a necessity for workers.
Come and take part in the biggest annual event that brings together fighting rank-and-file union members and campaigners, such as the parents who have organised with education workers against the Tories’ reckless re-opening of schools, and the anti-racist protesters who have exploded into action after the killing of George Floyd in the USA.
