CSC held successful fringe meetings at the TUC Congress and Labour Party Conference with MPs and trade union leaders from across the trade union movement this autumn.
On September 27, the Cuban ambassador to Britain, Her Excellency Bárbara Montalvo Álvarez, told Labour Party delegates in Liverpool of the "incalculable, massive and cruel" impact of the US blockade in its 60th year.
At the rescheduled TUC meeting in Brighton on October 18, a joint meeting together with the NEU (National Education Union) on "Supporting Education, Resisting the Blockade" focused on Cuba's achievements in education in the face of the blockade and building trade union support for the Viva La Educación appeal.
