===Priority Campaign=== Labour Students took on a major campaign each year, voted for in an all-member ballot. Recent campaigns have included: *'''"Make Child Poverty History" campaign (2006β2007)''' *'''"Sex, Lives and Politics" (2005β2006)''' β This was followed by a government reduction of VAT on condoms to the EU minimum of 5%. *'''The Living Wage Campaign (2011β2013)''' β Labour Students worked in collaboration with the trade union [[Unison (trade union)|UNISON]] to equip members with the skills to fight for a [[living wage]] to be paid to staff on their university campuses.
