Our political and economic policies are broken- whilst the rich get richer, ordinary working people continue to the pay the price of successive Governments mistakes- leading to Political and economic apathy and the far-right exploiting this frustration. Proud of @UniteEastMids

An awesome show of strength and solidarity in London yesterday at the Together Alliance march. Organisers say around 500k took to the streets to show that we are stronger when we come together than when we are divided. #UnityOverDivision @UKTogetherAll

For years local authorities have faced brutal austerity cuts, with frontline workers and services facing the brunt. This has to stop. Local authority workers like Unite EC member Susan Matthews keep our services running #FairFunding now 📣

⚽️ Sports Direct is the biggest sports retailer in the UK. 💰It expects to make between £550m & £600m this year & had a £3.20bn turnover last year. But they can't afford a pay rise or permanent contracts for its workers? 🪧Stop being a Grinch & pay up

@SportsDirectUK Come on’ £2.69 billion in revenues and paying your workers slightly above the minimum wage- that ain’t on!! Stop playing Scrooge and pay your workers a decent way or we’ll be seeing you soon!! ✊🏾💪🏾👇🏾

💥 Union Power is Worker Power 💥 When @UniteEastMids members come together- stand together- forces employers back around the table and take seriously our members demands. Now our members will have the final say as to whether they think this improved pay offer is good enough 💪🏾

Unite regional officer Harj Mahi said: “Following an improved offer from Arriva, Unite has suspended strike action to allow our members to be balloted.” unitetheunion.org/news-events/ne…

This was our members last resort! When they’ve seen their employer make millions in profits, it’s only right that our brilliant members fight for their share of the pie! This dispute is of @arrivamidlandsE making- no other! @UniteEastMids will stand strong with our members 💪🏾✊🏾

Unite regional officer Harj Mahi said: “@ArrivaUKBus is responsible for the disruption that will be caused to Christmas shoppers because it is refusing to put forward a reasonable offer out of greed. unitetheunion.org/news-events/ne…

‘They say sit-back, We say Fight back’!! Unite East Midlands members at Arriva Midlands are getting ready to fight for better pay. A company that has made €156m in pre-tax profits and is penny pinching when it comes to our members pay claim- Nah!!! ✊🏾👇🏾
Unite East Midlands@UniteEastMids

Unite, said 300 Arriva workers, including depot and office staff in Leicester, Hinckley and Coalville, will vote on the action in response to what they say is an "inadequate pay offer". bbc.com/news/articles/…
