SUMMARY:TUC Congress Fringe: Building a new Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Join us at TUC Congress for a panel discussion on creating a political system that works for workers. \nChair: Willie Sullivan (ERS Scotland)\nSam Tarry (National Political Officer\, TSSA)\nHoward Beckett (Assistant General Secretary\, Unite)\nShavanah Taj (PCS Wales Secretary & President\, WTUC)\nLynn Henderson (PCS Scottish Secretary & President\, STUC) \nToday\, there is a new democratic frontier for trade unions in Britain: reforming Westminster’s creaking establishment. From a broken voting system\, to an unelected House of Lords and denying 16 and 17 year olds the vote\, Parliament is skewed towards a privileged few. \nTrade unions exist for workers to stand up against concentrations of power and wealth. Today\, our politics concentrates power to a handful of voters in wealthier swing seats\, while throwing 22m votes in the electoral scrapheap. That’s a recipe for alienation and distrust. \nExchange 3\, MCCC\, Windmill St\, Manchester\, M2 3GX

SUMMARY:TUC Congress drinks reception: With Mark Serwotka
DESCRIPTION:Join the PCS General Secretary\, Mark Serwotka\, at Politics for the Many’s reception\, just two minutes walk from Congress. \nToday\, there is a new democratic frontier for trade unions in Britain: reforming Westminster’s creaking establishment. From a broken voting system\, to an unelected House of Lords and denying 16 and 17 year olds the vote\, Parliament is skewed towards a privileged few. \nTrade unions exist for workers to stand up against concentrations of power and wealth. We know that political inequality leads to economic inequality: if working people don’t have a voice\, it’s inevitable that our economy will deny them a voice too. \nWalters Suite\,\nRadisson Blu Edwardian\,\nManchester
