Trade unions can play a crucial role in combating racism
The forthcoming UN Anti-Racism Day is a chance to build unity against prejudice, says WEYMAN BENNETT

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. 

The conference included opening plenaries including speakers from Unison, PCS, the TUC, NEU, CWU, RMT and BFAWU, alongside activists from All Black Lives UK, and international speakers from the US and Greece, where the anti-racist and anti-fascist movement struck a serious blow with the defeat of fascist Golden Dawn.
