“Wales has made progress – but the fight against racism is far from over,” says TUC Cymru General Secretary Shavanah Taj.

Trade unionists, community leaders, and politicians gathered at the Senedd this week for TUC Cymru’s annual Black History Month event: Celebrating Our Past and Protecting Our Future. The event honoured the achievements of Black workers and trade unionists across Wales, while calling for renewed action to deliver racial justice in workplaces and communities.

The event sponsor, Vaughan Gething MS recently said:

“I am really proud to have sponsored the TUC Cymru at this year’s celebrations of the trade union movement and Black History Month. The trade union movement is at the forefront of tackling discrimination and racism in the workplace. As a trade union representative and lawyer, I am proud to be part of and support this work. We have lots to celebrate but there is always more work we can do, together.”
