Today DATUC stood in solidarity with the National Education Union and UNISON at the peaceful assembly in Nottingham in support of St Ralph Sherwin CMAT staff, students and communities
In the rain, workers, parents, children and trade unionists came together with one clear message protect our schools, protect education and protect jobs.
Seeing children standing up for their teachers and support staff was incredibly powerful. Public education matters and so do the workers who keep our schools running every single day.
DATUC will always stand with workers fighting for fairness, dignity and the future of our communities.
Solidarity always

Protect our ceramics industry!

Derby TUC has deep concerns about the damage to our ceramics industry, and the ongoing and potential loss of jobs across the region and country.

Locally, Denby Pottery urgently needs support with energy costs to make it easier for them to secure a new investor.

Please sign this Parliament petition calling on the Government to review the British Industrial Supercharger, expand it to include the ceramics industry within its remit, and produce a policy statement on supporting industry and jobs.

The UK currently faces some of the world’s highest industrial energy costs, which is a significant barrier to re industrialisation and protecting our current jobs.

Apply energy intensive industry relief (Supercharger scheme) to the ceramics industry to help cut soaring industrial energy costs & support ceramics businesses, which are at the risk of imminent collapse without urgent intervention, as seen with Denby Pottery registering for administration support.

It was important to stand alongside families, carers, disabled people and campaigners defending SEND provision, inclusion and EHCP rights.
