The opening of All Work and Low Pay was a festive occasion, with speeches from Sarah Veale, Head of Equality and Employment Rights at the TUC and Julie Howell, Director of Libraries at London Metropolitan University. We also had some songs by the choir Velvet Fist – tunes I have somewhere on vinyl! The exhibition is hard to photograph as the cases are so big, but these images give a flavour and there is more on the blog. http://allworklowpay.wordpress.com/
