Sue Silva – Supporting Black Members Experiencing Racism

Sue Silva speaking in support of Motion 9 – Supporting Black Members Experiencing Racism

“Despite our efforts, significant changes are still needed to achieve true equality for Black workers in public service workplaces. We must acknowledge the slow pace of change and the exclusion of Black voices from vital discussions. By involving Black workers in decision-making and making their protection a priority, we can generate meaningful reforms.”

“UNISON has made progress, but further development is necessary. Enhanced training for branch officers and stewards will equip them to support our members effectively. Let’s seize this moment to drive impactful change, ensuring our workplaces are fair, inclusive, and respectful for all.”
