UNISON Housing Fringe

The event was called "Can Labour rise to the Housing Challenge?". Speaking (standing to the right) is the housing minister Yvette Cooper. Who I understand is having her own "housing" problems, as is her husband Ed. According to Channel 4 "Dispatches" anyway.

I asked her to respond to the points that UNISON head of local government, Heather Wakefield had made earlier about excessive pay in housing associations and 2-tier workforces after TUPE transfers. She said she would "work with UNISON" on 2-tier workforces and think about sending "a message" to the sector about their pay levels (for Chief Officers). Not sure what that will mean?

The answer BTW to the question is of course YES!
