Turning up the heat on hypocritical housing associations
SUZANNE MUNA explains how Unite housing workers branch will be hosting its own ‘Alternative Housing Awards’ to highlight the disconnect between the executives and those they should be serving

ON May Day, after we have marched proudly alongside comrades from across the trade union and socialist movement, we will make our way to a picket of the UK Housing Industry Awards which will be taking place inside the Grosvenor Hotel. 

Once there, we will host our own “Alternative Housing Awards,” an annual event organised by the Unite Housing Workers Branch and Social Housing Action Campaign (SHAC). 

The event will be attended by large numbers of tenant, resident, trade union and housing campaigners.
