Due to the current climate, I made an application to @EquityUK benevolent fund. And regrettably received the news that this is NOT OPEN TO GRADAUTES/STUDENTS. I am seriously shocked. Myself and others like me are being left out to dry by the government and our unions.
@EquityUK because I am a recent graduate, and only been self employed for less than a year - I am not eligible for the recent support offered by @RishiSunak and the government and now I find that I am not eligible for support from my union!
Us graduates need support!
Us graduates need support!
A union should support everyone. Please don’t Abandon your graduates @EquityUK
@EquityUK can we have an answer / response to this?
