#HeartUnions Week 2023

#HeartUnions Week is an annual celebration of the trade union movement and what the WGGB achieves for it’s members.

This year it ran from 13-19 February, and members were asked to write and share short social media posts covering:

• Why they’re a WGGB member
• What the Writers’ Guild has achieved, either collectively or personally
• Encouraging everyone, especially fellow writers, to be in a union

Members also included messages of solidarity for the workers who are striking for better pay and conditions and showed their opposition to the Government’s anti-strike legislation.

We also produced an official WGGB #HeartUnions Twibbon, which members added to their profile picture (and we also produced a social media flyer).
