Frances O'Grady quote: "I think being a mother helps keep your feet on the ground...."
I think being a mother helps keep your feet on the ground. There's very little dignity in parenthood. It's a great leveller. Frances O'Grady
I worry that some politicians still think we are living in the 1950s where the man is the main breadwinner and the woman works for pin money. Actually, most families where there are two parents depend on two incomes to get by. Frances O'Grady
The image of the unions is still not in tune with where we actually are, which is fifty-fifty men and women, with an increasing number of women at the top. I think it is changing, but I'm not complacent about this. Frances O'Grady
Ordinary people who have lots of good ideas want more than a suggestion box, and they need a union to represent that thinking. Frances O'Grady
Would I describe myself as new Labour? I'm Labour, organised Labour. I think labels have a limited use and that's where you really get into boy stuff sometimes, just sticking on labels. Frances O'Grady
