Unite @ QUB

More #BrumBinStrike rubbish here from @BrumLeader @CllrJohnCotton 1⃣ There have NOT been "multiple reasonable offers made" to our members. Can @BhamCityCouncil specify what these offers were and when? No, because they're lying. 2⃣ Scaremongering about further equal pay liabilities has been a council tactic throughout the dispute. @unitetheunion has provided senior KC opinion, in writing and in person, to the council explaining why there is no risk. The council claims it has legal advice contradicting this, but won't show us. Why might that be? 3⃣ Cotton is now claiming his door is open, but he never attended negotiations, and it was the council who walked away from talks last summer and have refused our repeated offers to resume those talks. 4⃣ And away from the comments section on @birmingham_live and Facebook moaners, actual public opinion strongly backs a fair settlement for workers. We can back that up with evidence - almost 90% of people we've canvassed door-to-door side with the workers. birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…

✊STRIKE⚡️ This is disgraceful behaviour by GFM, @unitetheunion and our members will not stand for it. We have tried negotiating to no avail. Our members are understandably angry. ⤵️

The @GOVUK must enact full reforms of workers’ rights as promised to the British people. Pledges to enhance the rights of employees were a central part of @UKLabour's election platform, we will not allow the employment rights bill to be weakened. #TUC25 theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/s…

🚨Pay dispute declared🚨 Despite repeated requests UCU still refuses talks over the 2024/25 pay claim we submitted in April. Why would a trade union employer refuse to negotiate on pay? Our pay year begins on 1 August so we’re now 3 months into an effective pay freeze.

Seagate members also secured additional annual leave entitlement for all workers from day one of their employment 👏👏

Campus Trade Union reps: "the new policies and procedures are unworkable. Staff are fully stretched and already at breaking point. These new policies will make colleagues unwell!!" @UlsterUni Leaders: 🤷🤷‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Solidarity with @ucuatqub and @UniteQUB Shane, shame shame!!!! on @QUBelfast @QUBPeopleFirst & @QUBVChancellor We will fight these redundancies every step of the way! bbc.com/news/articles/…

The use of #FireAndRehire to make already low paid workers even poorer is despicable and without justification. Oscar Mayer should be ashamed of itself and must immediately drop this abhorrent plan. #amp-readmore-target" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/u…

UNITY NOT DIVISION 🧵1/6 Without unity the working class cannot make change. Division and blame are the bosses game. It’s time to look up, not down. 👇

@UniteSharon - "Unity not division" ✊

Unite welcomes the ditching of the Minimum Service Levels which prolonged disputes. The key now is to ensure the New Deal for Working People Employment Rights' package is delivered within 100 days as promised. Not watered down but finally redressing the balance for workers.
