Places are still available for the first of a series of events to be held in
the North West – in the European Capital of Culture: Liverpool. 

 

Expert speakers including lawyers, academics and trade unionists will join
John McDonnell MP in calling for a dramatic change in the quality of working
life for UK workers. Focusing on the need to provide and enforce a safe and
