𝗝𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗧 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗟𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗥'𝗦 𝗔𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 Labour’s affiliated unions have been clear that Labour cannot continue on its current path. Whilst we recognise progress has been made, such as aspects of the Employment Rights Act and the increase in the minimum wage, the results at the election last week were devastating. Labour is not doing enough to deliver the change that working people voted for at the General Election. Our focus is on the fundamental change of direction on economic policy and political strategy that unions have been clear is needed, and not on the personalities and unfolding political drama in Westminster. It’s clear that the Prime Minister will not lead Labour into the next election, and at some stage a plan will have to be put in place for the election of a new Leader. This is a point where the future of the Party we founded will be debated and determined, and we are working closely as unions to shape a shared vision on policy, political strategy and economic policy that will re-orient Labour back to working people, so Labour do what it was elected to do: govern in the interests of workers.

We are clear -

⏰You have until 10pm - but don't waste time (or your vote) - Vote Labour today.

TSSA is proud to have co-signed this letter alongside other unions, calling on MPs to submit a request for Private Members Bill on strengthening legal protections for transport workers against assaults at work. We won’t stop until workers get the support they need to be safe.

Today, our General Secretary, Maryam Eslamdoust marks May Day by calling for a pro-worker government. While the Employment Rights Act upgrades workers’ rights, big gaps still remain, especially in relation to the transition to Great British Railways: shorturl.at/o4XK2

This May Day, we stand with transport workers everywhere. Our members deserve: ✊A pro-worker government ✊Protection of jobs & conditions ✊Stronger rights at work ✊Increased investment in public transport ✊A just transition for workers in the move to Great British Railways

Yesterday, TSSA’s General Secretary and staff met with Heidi Alexander, Secretary of State for Transport to raise concerns about the transition to Great British Railways. TSSA backs railway public ownership, but workers and our members must be protected in that transition. #GBR

To mark IWMD, TSSA publishes results from our latest survey that finds over half of TSSA reps have suffered violence & abuse at work on multiple occasions. We're calling for more resources for BTP and an end to lone working. 🔗 Read the report here👉tssa.org.uk/violence-again…

On Workers' Memorial Day TSSA general secretary @MEslamdoust says attacks on transport workers are "getting completely out of control." #KeepTransportWorkersSafe #WorkersMemorialDay morningstaronline.co.uk/article/unions… #morningstaronline

On Workers Memorial Day, we honour transport workers who never made it home and renew our fight to protect those on the job. Safe staffing and safe conditions save lives.

@The_TUC Black Workers’ Conference our Treasurer, Mary Sithole, moved our motion on ending racial injustice in maternity care. Black women face racism in maternity care and are more likely to die during pregnancy, childbirth, or postpartum compared to white women. This must end.

Pamela Stafford, a TSSA delegate @The_TUC Black Workers’ Conference spoke against harsh visa restrictions on essential migrant transport workers. Pamela spoke in favour of protecting migrant skilled workers and stood up for our TfL members facing uncertainty with their visas.

It's Workers’ Memorial Day next Tuesday 28 April. Every year more people are killed at work than in wars. #IWMD is a chance to commemorate those workers, while re-committing to make workplaces safer now. Visit our website for more information👉tssa.org.uk/news-and-event…
