Blog: Why attacks on legal abortion are a trade union matter
On 2 October last year, UNISON was proud to stand in solidarity with the thousands who marched in cities across the UK, and in other parts, of the world to protest against new limits on abortions in Texas.

Early in the morning of Feb. 24, as Krylyuk and his colleagues prepared for a series of EMS competitions, they heard the news. Russia was invading their country. Ukraine was under attack.
