30 years ago the Disability Discrimination Act came into force.
It made it illegal to discriminate against disabled people - for the first time.
There’s still so much to do. But we celebrate the steps forward along the way.

For many IVF isn’t a choice: it’s the only option to start a family.
Yet despite the toll it takes, there's no proper support at work.
Infertility is a medical condition, recognised by the World Health Organisation.
Workers need paid leave for it.

Amazon cutting 14,000 jobs while registering astronomical profits shows everything that’s wrong with the business.
Bezos spends billions launching celebs into space, but he can’t treat his loyal workforce with dignity.
We'll always stand with Amazon workers.

Reform would gut our green industries - putting thousands of jobs at risk.
But people need to see the benefits of green energy policies, with jobs in every community.
That's why we've launched Climate Jobs UK with @prospectunion.bsky.social 🙌

Oil and gas jobs are at risk.
Without action - the populist Right will exploit this. Climate deniers will have a field day.

Sizewell C getting this government's full backing is huge.
It's six million homes powered.
It's 10,000 directly employed jobs and thousands more in the supply chain.
And it's 1500 apprenticeships for our young people.
