📢UPCOMING EVENT: "Why We Must Protect the Wellbeing of Whistleblowers; dedicated to Simon Andriesz R.I.P."

📅 Tuesday 17 November 2026
⏰ 6pm-8pm GMT
📍 Online via Zoom

Following the important @appgonifandffs summit held in Parliament on 2 November, we are bringing the conversation forward to examine what needs to happen next to ensure whistleblowers are properly protected.

Dedicated to the memory of Simon Andriesz, this event will explore the serious consequences of retaliation against those who speak out in the public interest, and the urgent need for greater accountability from regulators and employers.

We will revisit the issues raised at the parliamentary summit, examine the FCA's independent review into its handling of Simon's case, and consider the practical reforms needed to ensure whistleblowers are listened to, taken seriously and protected rather than punished.

How do we create a society in which speaking out is recognised as an act of public service, rather than something that puts individuals at risk?

Join us for this important discussion.

The risks described are very real and off-the-scale serious. This needs serious attention at the very highest level. We can all remember the GFC and we must all do all we can to prevent a repeat triggered by the bursting of the AI bubble.

Way back in September Randi Weingarten, the President of the American teachers’ union the AFT, sent a letter to US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who chairs the Financial Stability Oversight Council, urging an immediate investigation into serious financial risks from the artificial intelligence sector’s rapid debt-laden expansion. The letter from the head of the 1.875 million-member union called for swift action to address the existential threat these dangers carry for AFT members’ retirement security and the U.S. economy as a whole.
AFT members’ deferred wages sit in pensions and retirement funds with over $4 trillion in combined assets and include investments in AI-related firms. Weingarten’s letter followed concerns expressed by members of the AFT Trustee Council who help oversee those funds.  
“The alarm bells could not ring any louder,” said Weingarten. “If President Donald Trump won’t act to protect working people’s deferred wages from the dangers AI poses to the U.S. economy, public officials need to act. Educators, nurses and public employees didn’t create this AI bubble, and they shouldn’t be the ones who pay for it if it bursts.”
The same concerns clearly apply to the security of pensions in the UK. That’s why as trade unions here we need to work with government to ensure protections are in place.
