🚨BREAKING Deal agreed to end bins strike after 15 months! It is an absolute abhorrence that this deal has been blocked not just once but twice by unelected unaccountable commissioners and officers at Birmingham City Council. Congratulations to the Unite members who stood firm throughout, backed by their union. “The move made today by the leader of the council is a vindication of the bin workers’ struggle for a decent deal” @UniteSharon

🚨 Strike Action - First, Doncaster It's day 3 of action for our members and their resolve is clear. They don't want to be out on strike, but they deserve #FairPay ✊ #UniteNEYH

Cummins is a hugely profitable company that can more than afford to put forward an acceptable pay offer. These workers have @unitetheunion's total support in taking strike action to achieve pay justice. #JobsPayConditions

🚨 Strike Action - First South Yorkshire Our members took strike action on Saturday 28th March, with more dates to follow First Group is highly profitable, and can afford to pay its #Doncaster drivers the same as those in #Sheffield #UniteNEYH

As oil and gas prices rise and global supplies grow more unstable, the government’s approach to the North Sea is putting jobs and energy security at risk. Unite General Secretary Sharon Graham said: “The government’s position on oil and gas is putting jobs and national security at risk. Blocking oil and gas production in the North Sea, especially now is simply an act of monumental political self-harm. Domestic gas from Jackdaw and oil from Rosebank are essential for jobs and for energy security. We cannot let go of one rope before we have hold of another. With energy and fuel bills set to rocket once again we need to stop offshoring our carbon responsibilities and fund a concrete plan for commensurate jobs.” Unite’s message is clear: No Ban Without a Plan. North Sea workers must not be forced into a jobless transition. There can be no blocks on North Sea oil and gas until real, comparable jobs are created. Protect jobs, protect energy security and deliver a just transition ✊ 📹 rmoseyr #NoBanWithoutAPlan #JustTransition #NorthSea #Oil
