Unite Community ✊🏼 #joinaunion

Today we launch our campaign on the No U-Turn on the Freedom Pass, we are aware after the recent review that most councils have committed to no change on the FP, but we are also aware that after the May elections this may change. So we are calling for No U-Turn commitment.

Our amazing Unite Young Members delegation at TUC Young Workers Conference! Our motion on the severe housing crisis affecting young workers was also chosen to go to @The_TUC later this year ✊🏼✊🏼 #YoungWorkers26

Stanhope? No hope! 👎 Today, @unitetheunion and @Unite_Community activists protested outside Stanhope Plc’s offices. 🏗️ They’re a key partner of Wolffkran, whose tower crane operators haven’t had a pay rise in 3 years. Strike action continues tomorrow.

As #Unite members in our union’s section for unwaged people - @Unite_Community - we were also outside Leeds Uni to spread the word that unions are for everyone ❤️ whether you’re in paid work or not #HeartUnions #HeartUnionsWeek #JoinAUnion #HeartUnionsWeek2026 #UniteCommunity

We in @Unite_Community often campaign on issues outside the workplace; we’ve fought cuts to the Winter Fuel Allowance and Disabled People’s social security, and are always keen to organise around the needs of students like housing and tuition fees 📖 unitetheunion.org/why-join/membe…

🚨Brum MP @AyoubKhanMP once again raises the year-long dispute in Parliament. @Keir_Starmer responds: "We're doing everything we can" to resolve the bin dispute. Really?...everything? How about a return to negotiations @10DowningStreet @BrumLabour?

We were in parliament today to ask MPs to back @switherdenMP’s amendment to the Railways Bill, to enable your community to campaign to reopen local stations cuts in the 1960s. Here is why his amendment is so important. #RailwaysBill

Day 2 of #heartunions week and we've been out on the streets of Leeds with @Unite_Community spreading the word that unions are for everyone ❤️ And that when we stand together, we stand stronger💪

Nigel Farage isn't the answer! If @UKLabour start to tackle the issues communities are facing, such as spiralling food prices, energy costs, low wages, housing and the #costoflivingcrisis then Farage would be in the rear view mirror. @bbclaurak @unitetheunion #LauraKuenssberg

“You should be pushing for negotiations and ending the bin strike!” This butcher in Bordesley Green sums up how the Birmingham public feel about @BrumLabour walking away from bin strike negotiations seven months ago.

💔 Crumbling services ✂️ Cuts 😰 Service users abandoned & workers under stress Unite reps from around the UK tell how the funding squeeze is devastating local services. It doesn't have to be like this. An influential parliamentary committee agrees with many of Unite's proposals to fix local government funding. 📺 Watch & 🔄 share this short video & help us make the government listen 👂

“We need an NHS Reinstatement Bill to eliminate the role of the private sector and rebuild our NHS for patients, not profit”. @DrJohnPuntis #HouseOfCommonsEvent

An absolutely incredible report by @BhamCityCouncil director of finance Carol Culley reveals the ludicrous spending of tax payers money in protracting the bin strikes in 2025. 🔹£4.2 million in lost income from bulky waste, commercial waste and paper. 🔹£4.4 million in lost income from green waste 🔹£10.2 million in ‘street scene saving non-delivery’. 🔹£14.6 million has been spent in direct costs, including “street cleansing, mobile household waste and recycling centres, security costs and additional support”. 🔹£12.6 million in the first 11 months of 2025 on agency and contract staff. And the £1200 a day chief commissioner Tony McArdle has the audacity to preach about "best value"! Unbelievable... unitetheunion.org/news-events/ne…

The pressure on workers can be been intense. The United Minds campaign offers tools and materials to assist reps in negotiating better management processes around mental health and stress issues in the workplace 💪 unitetheunion.org/campaigns/unit…

✊ Unite members have stopped pay cuts, won rises, improved overtime and won extra leave. Workers across the UK & Ireland are fighting back and winning in Unite. On your own you beg. Together we win 💥 #SolidaritySunday #JobsPayConditions

😡 Sacha and Danny say Birmingham's residents are paying millions for the council to prolong a strike that no one wants. It's been a year of strikes, a year of waste, a year of letting down residents and workers. @BhamCityCouncil "need to negotiate a fair solution that puts workers and residents first"

Registration is easy if you’re a carer. #itsatradeunionissue @UniteSharon @unitetheunion

Today marks the 1 year anniversary of the Birmingham Bin strike. The sad fact is that these heroic workers should have never been in this position, having a @UKLabour council tear away their hard fought conditions, all because of years of gross mismanagement and catastrophic financial decisions, that has lead to everyone in Birmingham suffering from slashed services and higher council tax. These workers have the full unequivocal backing of Unite the Union. They will fight on until they get the justice they deserve. Solidarity to every single one of them.
