Great result………. Parents, carers, children’s and staff’s voices have been heard after @GMBCampaigns over the issues at Churchill Community College. ✅ Mobile buildings ordered All children will be back on site in September This is what happens when you organise and mobilise.

SeAH Wind workers aren’t asking for more, just fairness. Shift allowances at industry standard. A green future must also be a fair one. @GMBCampaigns @TeessideLive @itvtynetees

SeAH Wind took public millions promising good jobs. Now they want to impose weekend & night shifts with below-industry shift allowances. This isn’t greed – it’s fairness. If you take our time and our weekends, you PAY for it. #Teesside @GMBCampaigns @TeessideLive

The idea that workers earning £60k “have it easy” needs challenging. That figure often comes with nights, weekends & sacrifices. The dispute at SEAH isn’t about greed, it’s about defending shift pay & protecting standards for future generations @GMBCampaigns #justtransition

Seah Wind seems to think the “just transition” means a race to the bottom. Our members working shifts deserve industry standard allowances – not cuts. Public money backed this project. Fair pay is not optional. #JustTransition #FairPay #GreenJobs #StandWithWorkers @GMBCampaigns

🚨BREAKING: SeAH Wind workers to strike over 'pitiful' pay 💪 Walk out starts on Wednesday [15 October] and every Wednesday for six weeks. Workers angry over imposed shift allowances and a 3.1 per cent pay offer that's both below inflation and industry standards 😤 🧡🖤🧡🖤 read more 👇 gmb.org.uk/news/teesside-…

I seem to have hit the age when a “fall” becomes something. Dislocated my shoulder today. Great care from @NorthumbriaNHS at Cramlington Hospital to manipulate it back into place. 🌈

The North East powered Britain once through our graft in the yards, pits and factories. Now the Reform Party, ex-Tories in new jackets, want to drag us backwards. Thousands of green jobs would be lost. Dont let the same people who wrecked our past do it again.

🚨GMB Union is urging North Tyneside Council to scrap plans which could see staff stumping up to park at council offices and leisure centres across the borough🚗🅿️ Meanwhile, councillors are set to trouser up to £6,000 pay rise if the increase is nodded through at a vote of the full council meeting tomorrow😠👇 gmb.org.uk/news/north-tyn… @KatFletcher @StuartGilhespy @StephenThompki1 @NTCouncilTeam

@BenHouchen can’t build success on the back of workers at the airport, who are struggling to pay the bills. ❌No pay rise Sign our petition to tell @BenHouchen and the Airport. Workers deserve a pay rise. Sign our petition 👇 tinyurl.com/277wp2p3

£138m of public money. 75% publicly owned by ⁦@TeesValleyCA⁩ Staff pay: frozen. Our Airport, Our Pay. 📍 Sign the petition: tinyurl.com/277wp2p3 #FairPayTeesside #OurAirportOurPay ⁦@GMBCampaigns⁩

Many GMB members at @TeesAirport haven’t had a pay rise in 2 years. The airport is 75% owned by @TeesValleyCA — that’s the people of Teesside. If public money can fund the airport, it should also fund fair pay for the people who keep it running. #ourairportourpay

Congratulations to the workforce and @GMB_union on gaining recognition. Union recognition is the cornerstone of well-paid, secure work with good employment rights. Under the Employment Rights Bill Labour is making this easier. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

We let adults who think the Royal Family are lizards vote. We let adults who think 5G spreads COVID vote. But 16-year-olds who can work & pay tax? “Not ready.” Give over. Votes at 16. Long overdue. #VotesAt16 #YouthVoice

📢 Big news: SEAH Wind better clear some wall space — GMB’s recognition application has been accepted by the CAC! 🗂️ Time to hang up that shiny new union notice board… we’ve got things to say. @GMBCampaigns

Middlesbrough: less than 1/3 of looked-after children are placed with in-house carers. Outsourcing care = higher costs, less stability, weaker workforce. Kids deserve better than lowest-bidder care. Invest in in-house carers. End the quiet privatisation of care. ✊

Great to be back in Durham with great comrades. Solidarity forever. ✊
