About the event:

On Sunday 7 September, we’re teaming up with the Campaign for Trade Union Freedom (CTUF) to host a fringe meeting at the TUC Congress in Brighton.

Come join us to hear from our legal experts and leading trade unionists, about the need to look forward to an Employment Rights #2 Bill, the need for the strengthening of collective-bargaining rights for the trade-union movement and the complete ban on zero-hours contracts.

This event will be immediately followed by a GFTU social hosted at the same venue which is open to all – we hope to see you there!
