On our way to watch the football in Leeds today and my old man wants to see an end to outsourcing on our railways. @RMTunion @RmtNewport

[4/] @UKLabour promised the "biggest wave of insourcing in a generation." Cleaners on c2c are ready. The contract is public. The time is now. 📢 #BinBidvest #EndOutsourcing

[3/] Bidvest Noonan made headlines this year by offering 1 week of sick pay — but only if you're dying. The same company is managing this mess at @TfL on the DLR and @c2c_Rail.

[2/] Workers have no PPE in their size. They clean vomit, toilets, and waste with gloves that don’t fit. This is a basic health hazard. It wouldn’t be allowed in any hospital or school. So why is it happening on our public railway? morningstaronline.co.uk/article/public…

🧼 PUBLIC RAILWAY, PRIVATE FILTH Outsourced cleaners employed by @BidvestNoonan are washing mops BY HAND and drying them in bin rooms — because @c2c_Rail won’t fix a washing machine. #BinBidvest 🧵 [1/]

🚨 63% of public transport workers experienced violence at work last year. 85% were attacked more than once. Many thanks to @MartinRhodes21 for raising this vital issue at #PMQs

Newport Branch was in attendance at the @RMTunion Branch & Regional Secretaries Conference, held at the Inverness Caledonian Thistle Social Club. Another successful conference, with wonderful, hardworking people. Sending love and solidarity to everyone. 🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛

Why is it that Reform vote against empowering the working class? It’s simple. Whilst they masquerade as a party for ordinary people, they are a cheap and nasty Thatcher tribute act. Our communities were destroyed by the original, now Reform are trying to push us back again.

Like to remind @LordPeterHendy of how important ticket offices are for blind, partially sighted, disabled & older people as explained by @newdawn75 the day after @RishiSunak Government had to u-turn on the proposed closure of train tickets offices in England on 31st October 2023.

How the P&O seafarers found out they didn’t have a job anymore 3years ago today…. Pre recorded video on a phone! Note also the captain had no idea as he’s sat with the crew watching! ⁦@RMTunion⁩ ⁦@KarlTurnerMP⁩

Just wondering why the @dropkickmurphys account has been suspended on this platform that claims to be a bastion of free speech? 🤔 Still, it gives us an excuse to repost this video they did for @RMTunion ✊

The RMT has criticised @UKLabour’s decision to cut welfare spending by up to £5bn by 2030. Eddie Dempsey, @RMTunion general secretary: "Welfare cuts target people who rely on support to survive, including disabled people, carers, the unemployed, and those in insecure work.”

They clearly fear our man already. Excellent.
