Today’s expected cut in interest rates, which would have been a welcome reprieve for workers and households has been dashed. If monetary policy can’t ease the cost-of-living crisis, we need direct @GOVUK action. #interestrates

Workers and communities should not be paying the price for the clear failings of the council’s management. ➡Birmingham bins Plus... ➡Energy profiteering ➡oil and Gas ➡Labour affiliation and more. My full interview with @RidgeandFrost this morning.

I'm with our courageous striking #Birmingham bin workers on their picket line. These workers are the vanguard of our union. We support you and we stand with you. Victory to the strike. ✊👊

Our members taking industrial action have @unitetheunion’s unwavering support. @BhamCityCouncil should now honour the deal scoped out at Acas and stop wasting millions of pounds of residents’ money on failed attempts to break the strike.

Powerful solidarity shown by Manchester workers last night against union busting✊ @FairHospitality supporters showed up standing behind our reps at the @Kimpton Clocktower after IHG suspended them just days after they raised a collective grievance on working conditions and union recognition To de-escalate the situation, hotel management must reinstate our representatives immediately and come to the table to address these concerns and agree a clear path toward union recognition 📣 To support the workers comment sign the petition: actionnetwork.org/forms/no-to-un…

Taxpayers and cancer victims will pay in the long-term for the removal of this service. Our members at the centre have @unitetheunion's full support in their fight to keep the service open. 2/2 unitetheunion.org/news-events/ne…

Unite members will protest tomorrow (Thursday 19th) over the closure of vital Nottinghamshire cancer services. This shameful decision is seeing workers and cancer patients being thrown on the scrapheap to balance the books in the short-term. #NHS 1/2

Strikes set to take place this week by almost 450 bus drivers have been called off after they won a three-year pay deal. unitetheunion.org/news-events/ne…

👊 UNITE WIN | Lea Interchange Bus Company These workers stood together in their fight for fair pay and should be commended on securing this excellent deal, which ensures their pay will go up.

Every single penny will come out of Labour’s affiliation fee. So, @UKLabour will be paying for this one and any others that come our way. This is yet another pathetic attempt to intimidate workers and it won’t work. #Birmingham #Bins bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

If Ithaca and Bilfinger refuse to include the workers within the retention scheme, then our members will have no option but to fight for what they deserve. unitetheunion.org/news-events/ne…

Our members are being wrongly denied a payment they are fully entitled to. Ithaca Energy is an incredibly wealthy company that can fully afford to pay the bonus. 1/2

ONE YEAR ON @unitetheunion remains open to return to negotiations to resolve the dispute, however the council refuses to even meet. Instead, the council took the decision to brutally #FireAndRehire workers to force them onto lower pay rates. #Labour

During the dispute Diligenta staff were prepared to reject pay offers that failed to address their concerns. These workers have shown incredible strength and unity and have won their pay battle against an employer who attempted to ignore their anger at real terms pay cuts. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-new…

Earlier this month, bin workers voted to extend their industrial action mandate past local elections in May and into September. @BhamCityCouncil will only resolve this dispute when it stops the appalling treatment of its workforce.

“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. 2/2

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. 1/2 cityam.com/drill-in-brita…
