A woman from Eastbourne is being honoured for her work in a special booklet being printed by the Unite union.

Betty Gallacher has been campaigning for more than 40 years as a trade union representation and a gay woman fighting for equality.

The booklet – called Betty Gallacher: Standing up for all workers – launches later this month and it tells Betty’s life story.
