MORE than 1,000 trade unionists and workplace activists took part in Saturday’s online conference organised by the TUC and Stand Up To Racism, From Covid19 to #BlackLivesMatter — Fighting for Anti-Racist Workplaces.
The event was part of the build-up to the international #WorldAgainstRacism #NoRacismNoFascism day of protest to mark UN Anti-Racism Day on Saturday March 20.
