'We must act together'

Unite general secretary Sharon Graham gave an impassioned speech at the 136th Durham Miners’ Gala on Saturday (July 9). She highlighted the more than 60,000 Unite members now out on strike and how in the last few months, Unite members have won more than 300 disputes.

She said this showed the power of trade unions, and added, “The trade union movement needs to be reborn.” You can watch Sharon’s full speech in the video below:
