World Menopause Day takes place in GMB trade union regional office, Columbus Quay on Monday October 18th
World Menopause Day is October 18th and the GMB union will be holding a special event to recognise its importance. As a union we see the menopause as a daily health and safety issue which is constant for more than half of our members and are raising awareness of the impact of this condition.

He took part in the Liverpool -Chester cycle ride on a specially adapted tricycle as his disabilities prevent him from riding a standard two wheeled bicycle.
There was also lots of partying going on with all the bars having outside stages hosting fantastic and interesting acts.
This was the first time we had attended Salford Pride or ‘Pink Picnic’ and it had much more of a community feel rather than the large corporate money-spinners that some of the bigger Pride events have become.

Moves by management to introduce new technology was challenged by the union and the appeal has now been adjourned until more work can be carried out on the safety aspects of the changes.
