The Second event we are hosting is STAND UP FOR MARRIAGE EQUALITY....stand up comedy night 

UNISON activists for across the Northern Ireland branches turned out in force to support this very important and long standing event in the trade unionist calendar.

The Durham Miners' Gala is a large annual gathering held on the second Saturday in July in the city of Durham, England. It is associated with the coal mining heritage (and particularly that of miners' trade unionism) of the Durham Coalfield, which stretched throughout the traditional County of Durham.

On Saturday 1 July 20,000 people marched for marriage equality. 

The Trade Unions fully support the equal marriage campaign and UNISON were out in force last Saturday. 

On 5 July at the Congress Biennial Conference the 'Trade Unions love Equality' campaign was launched. 

Speaking ahead of the launch of Trade Unions Love Equality, ICTU General Secretary Patricia King said:
