Article in the Oldham Chronicle Newspaper
The #heartunions stall on the Oldham market was very successful. We started off with a shopping trolley full of union application forms, free pens, mugs, keyrings and more. By the end of the day, everything had gone.
There were a lot of enquiries regarding the GMB union. Local business also supported the work of the Oldham Trades Council by handing out flyers on our behalf to customers.

Busy, busy, busy!
Oldham Trades Council Meeting Tonight at 5pm - The Royal Oak Hotel, Union Street, Oldham
Tonight we will be meeting to make the final plans for the #loveunions stall on 13/02/16 and the OTUC AGM on 08/03/16.
We will be catching up regarding where we are with regard to the pledge we made at the Oldham Fairness Commission event on 29/01/16 to make Oldham a 'Living Wage Town'. The employer name & shame list has been released. According to the Living Wage Foundation, there are only a few banks in the Town Centre that pay a living wage to its employees so it looks like we have our work cut out for us!
I am rushed off my feet with last minute plans for the PCS West Pennine & Oldham Branch AGM where our guest speaker will be PCS General Secretary, Mark Serwotka. We will be hosting a stall for Oldham Trades Council there to promote Trades Councils and their hard work.
