Hailing today's Final Investment Decision for Sizewell C, @FernsSue says: "This will be one of the most important engineering projects of the next decade, delivering thousands of high-quality jobs." Read more: prospect.org.uk/news/final-inv…
On return of the Pensions Commission, @mikeclancy1 says: “The UK economy is sitting on a pension timebomb, with most employees not accruing enough to give them decent retirements, & it's welcome that the govt has recognised this and is taking action." ⬇️ prospect.org.uk/news/prospect-…
This investment and confirmation that the new National Biosecurity Centre in Harlow is to go ahead is welcome but long overdue. Our members at Porton Down will be eager for some certainty about their future after years of vacillation and delay.

Good to talk to @MattChorley yesterday about trade unions and the new government. There's a lot still to do, but we have clearly seen a change in attitude towards working with unions and a respect for our role representing working people.
#Employment rights include #ParentalRights so we were delighted to have the opp to attend & contribute to this event with @justinmadders @ProspectUnion & @CIPD
