Always a privilege to represent our members @pcunion.bsky.social
PCU recently met with representatives from BACP.
We had a constructive discussion on a range of topics, including concerns that our members have raised previously.
We view this as a positive step in the ongoing relationship between PCU and BACP, we hope to continue building on this progress.
