The rally revealed our shared concerns and hardships over:

• the long term devaluing of our sectors and skills,
• high attrition rates of younger staff from our sectors,
• the struggle felt in encouraging these careers to new entrants,
• institutional reliance on goodwill to deliver our contracts,
• our unsustainable workloads and the increasingly complex demands of our labour,
• and the very real and immediate impact of inflation and precarious employment on less well reimbursed, junior and part-time staff (with associated differential equality impacts)

This is what our fight is about. Solidarity. And pushing for change for the better.
