For years we at the ACDA have been raising the issue of #CasteDiscrimination in the UK with #Unions. Now the union's own members are telling their Unions they've witnessed Caste discrimination in the workplace. We're getting there. Now we need the The Labour Party to deliver.

This is a significant win for anti-caste movement in the UK. Unison's (one of UK's biggest unions) Black Members conference has made a big stride in the trade union movement to protect workers at the work places from caste discrimination. Congratulations to everyone involved ✊🏾

ACDA and Sacha Ismail with #SudeshRani and friends lobbying Black Members UNISON Conference 2024. Unfortunately that conference was cut short due to bad weather and the 'Ban Caste Discrimination' motion was not able to be heard. We did it in 2025!
