“Decent Work & Democracy”
Due to the increasing Covid19 infection rate, the organising committee have decided to postpone this event until spring 2022
We feel it is important to follow the precautionary principle and to make our own decisions on this matter, and not wait for guidance from the so called government. We hope that by the spring the Covid19 infection rate will have reduced and face to face meetings will be much safer again
Our conference on union-coops at
Wortley Hall, South Yorkshire will be rescheduled in the spring of 2022, but in the meantime we will be organising a series of online events starting Oct 2nd
