The Launch of UNISON & The Welsh Labour Movement
Lansiad UNSAIN a Mudiad Llafur Cymru
“On every panel, what you see is a living embodiment of the fact that nothing is ever won on behalf of working people or progressive causes without a struggle. The people who are in possession of power and privilege do not simply surrender it because the argument for doing so is a good one. They do so because of the organisation the effort and the determination that every panel you see in this exhibition demonstrates.”
First Minister Mark Drakeford Prif Weinidog

“We’re showing Welsh people that the women and men who have helped transform society looked and sounded just like them. We want people to come away inspired and fizzing with ideas thinking about what change is possible and how they can achieve it.”

“This exhibition champions the gains won by working class people and their trade unions that have benefitted everyone. You’ll hear about the people in Mold, Merthyr and elsewhere, who banded together to turn the world on its head, winning the vote, reduced working hours, safer workplaces and lots more.”
