The Workers of England Union
Campaigning
The Workers of England union campaigns on behalf of its membership on the following issues:
The Workers of England union campaigns to stop racism
The Workers of England union stands firmly against racism. Any member expressing racist views will be excluded from the union.
The St George flag does not belong to extremists or racists—it belongs to England and its families. The union sees the flag as a unifying symbol that represents all people in England, regardless of background.
As such, we proudly continue to use the St George flag in our logo, as we believe it encourages community integration and a positive, inclusive national identity.
Just as Scotland and Wales celebrate their patron saints with national holidays, so too should England. By promoting St George’s Day as a community and family event, we aim to help people reconnect with a positive and unified society.
The Workers of England union campaigns to make St Georges day a bank holiday in England
Just as Scotland and Wales celebrate their patron saints with national holidays, so too should England. By promoting St George’s Day as a community and family event, we aim to help people reconnect with a positive and unified society.
St George’s Day should become a bank holiday because celebrating it can foster a strong cultural identity, promoting a sense of belonging, stability, and shared community values.
The Workers of England union campaigns for the abolition of student fees.
The Workers of England union supports the abolition of student fees for English students and stands out among trade unions in championing the skills university graduates bring to industry.
The Workers of England union campaigns for an English parliament and against regionalisation of England.
In May 1998, the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly were established. A decade on, this has led to a transformation not only in Scottish and Welsh politics and governance but also in how the public engages with the wider UK Parliament.
Since then, England has been divided into nine regional areas—without public consultation. However, none of these regions possess powers equivalent to those of the Scottish Parliament or Welsh Assembly. The Workers of England Union believes this disparity puts democracy at risk and that a federal system for the UK must be brought onto the political agenda.
The Union calls for a constitutional convention to develop a coherent and fair constitutional framework for the entire UK. It argues that the other nations of the UK should extend to England the same democratic accountability they themselves enjoy. Democratic equality must be afforded to the people of England
