@MichaelLCrick As a Unite officer, this is utterly false. Stop spreading misinformation and check your facts before posting!!

Our ballot for higher education members is officially open. 1.4% is not good enough. We're calling on our members to send a clear message by rejecting the UCEA offer and voting in favour of industrial action. More here - unitetheunion.org/what-we-do/uni…

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 A culture of sexual harassment has been exposed at Cardiff council, with a @unitetheunion poll finding incidents are endemic. The detailed findings of our poll and more information can be found here - unitetheunion.org/news-events/ne…

Day 2 of the @FairHospitality combine in Cardiff, the first ever to be held in Wales. Huge thanks to all of our members and reps in the hospitality sector who are going from strength to strength. Their passion for fair work and fair pay in their sector is inspiring.

.@unitetheunion will be doing everything we can to support our members at Cardiff University. We are prepared to fight any compulsory redundancies. The Welsh Government must stabilise the sector. We cannot allow new funding to enable further cuts. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

I just took action with : Help us put a stop to fire and rehire of workers at Oscar Mayer by signing our petition!. Take action here: actionnetwork.org/forms/help-us-…

We are now only a matter of weeks away from releasing the interim report on the potential corruption around the @unitetheunion Birmingham Hotel and conference centre and the Affiliated Services. When I became GS, I promised that I would uncover the truth, no matter how difficult that was. Despite the vile, ugly attacks on me from those with much to lose, I have kept that promise. The report will be made public and we are already in the process of getting our members' money back! Watch this part of my speech at the November 2024 @UniteEqualities Conference ⤵️

On 7th October, over 1000 @TGIFridays workers were given 57 minutes notice of a call with their CEO at which they were all sacked. 35 sites across the company were padlocked and workers locked out of their workplaces with valued possessions inside. One month on and @unitetheunion members may have won £££s in unpaid wages, holiday pay and tips but they are still fighting for access to their possessions - from @Teneo - for notice & redundancy pay, and for the compensation they deserve!  Support our national petition to demand legal, financial and political justice for these workers shorturl.at/EnEEe

🏆 UNITE WIN 🏆 Ammanford workers employed by car seat manufacturer Pullmaflex secure an inflation busting double digit pay rise after voting for strike action. Victory comes as Gestamp workers in nearby Llanelli vote in favour of strikes. More here - unitetheunion.org/news-events/ne…

Oscar Mayer are now on notice! No stone will be left unturned, be it industrially, legally or politically in the defence of our members. #FireAndRehire herald.wales/north-wales/wr…

💅🏼 Join a Union and fight back.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 Million pound plus legal claim for Oscar Mayer Wrexham workers launched. Oscar Mayer’s failure to follow basic rules in fire and rehire struggle opens way for huge legal case. More here - unitetheunion.org/news-events/ne… #FireAndRehire

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Mass immediate closures at @TGIFridays across the UK. Members have been furiously contacting us all morning in response to news that: 🤯Staff have been shut-out of sites & padlocks changed. 😡 Zero notice or redundancy consultation. 😤 Workers invited to head office zoom call with one hour’s notice. Many members haven’t even received the invite. 🤬 Workers haven’t even been told whether they will be paid! This is frankly appalling behaviour from an enormous multinational. Unite will be fully supporting our members as the situation develops & pursuing legal action as required.

The law on tipping has changed. Here’s what your rights are and how you can enforce them with the support of @unitetheunion

Today is a very special day for hospitality workers who from today, by law, will keep 100% of their customer tips. We caught up with John, a bar worker from Cardiff, to get his thoughts. Follow @FairHospitality for more...

🚨Happy Fair Tips Day! 🚨 From today, workers will have a legal right to 100% of their tips, fairly distributed according to a clear policy & report. We have campaigned for this for years and it will put £300m (every year) into the back pockets of the poorest workers in the British economy. A know your rights (and how to enforce them) 🧵

Today, striking workers at Oscar Mayer took their fight against #FireAndRehire to @coopuk HQ in Manchester. As one of the big supermarkets supplied with ready meals by Oscar Mayer, will Co-op stand up for the workers fighting against fire and rehire? The dispute continues.

Today is a very sad day for steelworkers and the people of Port Talbot as the final TATA Steel blast furnace shuts down. We will never stop fighting for steelworkers and will hold TATA and the Government to account to ensure that there is a future for Port Talbot steelworks.

It’s far more important for @UKLabour to make a u-turn on the winter fuel allowance - it’s wrong and they need to make a different decision. Full @BBCNews coverage ➡️ youtu.be/7lchXPlpCeg #LabourConference24
