UNION activists launched an exhibition of radical posters today in Unison Cymru Wales’s Cardiff HQ.
The exhibition of posters is curated by Red Shoes Poster archivist Shaun Featherstone and sponsored by Unison’s communications forum.
Forum chairwoman Helen Doughty said: “We want to show a new generation of Welsh public service workers the value of solidarity.
“Working with the Red Shoes archive, Unison selected 100 posters to reflect our membership and focus on topics such as feminism and equalities as well as peace and social justice.”
Mr Featherstone said: “The archive’s natural home is within the trade union and labour movement.”
The posters are housed within the union’s main conference room so will be seen by all activists and visitors meeting in the building.
There are also posters from the three unions that merged together to form Unison — the National Union of Public Employees (NUPE), the Confederation of Health Service Employees (COHSE) and the National Local Government Association (Nalgo).
The exhibition will be in Cardiff for three months and will then tour Wales.
