If anyone doubts the need for a strong trade union movement committed to fairness and social justice they should read today's report by the National Equality Panel. This finds that despite the many measures adopted by a Labour government to alleviate poverty and inequality the gap between the haves and have nots has increased and social mobility has ground to a halt. Full story here.
The report is published shortly after Goldman Sachs announced a 57% increase in the bonuses it paid to staff in 2009 - that's an average of £300000 each..
Both these developments can only strengthen our resolve to deliver our equality objectives.
