Stewart Brown
FBU Executive Council member Stewart Brown, who represents the FBU on the TUC LGBT Committee and helped negotiate the 2010 ILO Recommendation on HIV/AIDS and the World of Work, addressed the TUC World AIDS Day event on 1 December. Here are some extracts from his speech:Next year the expected numbers of people living with HIV in the UK will reach 100,000, and yet the United Kingdom government wants to cut funding for local HIV/AIDS community groups. Trade unions around the world will be using World AIDS Day as a focus to promote action on HIV and AIDS in the workplace and to call for renewed international commitment to tackle the pandemic, which is responsible for some 5,000 deaths every day.
