"With his impressive CV Burke could have been a professor by the 1970s, yet it was a position he was never offered throughout his long career. He is quite clear why: he spoke out about racism and sexism and was punished for it."

Andrea Egan for UNISON General Secretary

💸 Instead of taking the £181,000 salary package the current General Secretary receives, I will take the wage of a social worker. 💜 I will make sure the rest of the money goes to the Industrial Action Fund and There For You. 📈 My pay will go up when yours goes up!

I am very sad to hear that Geoffrey Bindman has passed away. A champion of human rights, Geoffrey always spoke up for the underdog. Geoffrey was never afraid to stand up for the truth, no matter the consequences. He was a truly wonderful man — and I will miss him greatly.
