National Union Of Mineworkers

TULO unions met with Andy Burnham today and had a very positive discussion about our shared priorities. Working people need a hopeful vision of the future – that means unions must be true partners in a Labour Government. Labour and unions are stronger together.

Positive meeting today between Labour's affiliated unions and Chancellor @RachelReevesMP. We were pleased to hear Rachel recommit to deliver the manifesto commitments on Make Work Pay in full, and to work closely with unions to take on Reform.

🚨 Deadline extended to submit evidence to Orgreave Inquiry- it now closes on 31st May. If you or someone you know was at Orgreave then consider submitting evidence 👇 barnsleychronicle.com/article/35597/…

Welsh comrades, led by South Wales @NMineworkers, are currently in Ukraine delivering vehicles and aid and meeting trade unionists (pictured). And we have another USC delegation going on Friday. Please contribute to help fund the aid we're taking: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/support-ukra…

The hours you actually work belong in your contract. Labour’s Employment Rights Act can make that happen – if we get the details right. Join @MWheelerMP, and add your name to our call for everyone to have this important new right. labourunions.org.uk/guaranteedhours

This is no longer about only workers' rights - it's also about our democracy. Labour campaigned on the New Deal, the public voted for it - now unelected Lords are blocking it. Enough is enough, no more political games - the House of Lords need to get out of the way and pass the Bill before Christmas #stoptheblock labourunions.org.uk/stoptheblock

Even at this late stage, opposition Lords are STILL voting to water down key measures in the Employment Rights Bill - risking delaying key new rights like access to Statutory Sick Pay from Day One. It can't go on like this. The Lords must get out of the way and let the Bill pass, so we can deliver the new rights working people desperately need. labourunions.org.uk/stoptheblock

🚨Thousands of ex-mineworkers are set to receive extra retirement payments after @RachelReevesMP announced she would release funds from a pension scheme. A huge shout-out to the women in our coalfield communities who fought for fairness every step of the way. Your strength made this happen. ✊ itv.com/news/calendar/…

Miners powered our nation. They deserve support with the after-effects of a life down the pit. Our Men’s Health Strategy will send the NHS to ex-mining communities to care for lung conditions. @NMineworkers campaigned for it, Labour is delivering it. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

I was proud to speak at the 25th anniversary reception for @CoalfieldsRegen in Parliament - discussing how we can improve health, employment, skills and economic outcomes locally.

This week my Barnsley Chronicle column was on this Labour Government delivering on our Miners’ Pensions Manifesto commitment👇 stephaniepeacock.org.uk/column-governm…

Over 3,000 miners and their families in Barnsley South will benefit from an average increase in pensions of £29 per week, thanks to the Government returning the Investment Fund of the Mineworkers' Pension Scheme. Read more in the @ChronOnline 👇 barnsleychronicle.com/article/30025/…

"The past we inherit, the future we build". Honoured to spend time at the NUM Headquarters in Barnsley yesterday, talking to the mineworkers who built this country. This government is delivering justice for the miners affected by the Mineworkers' Pension Scheme scandal.

Thousands of miners will have dignity in retirement thanks to a Labour government and the constant campaigning of the @NMineworkers

Today's Budget will fix the foundations to deliver change. Here are just some of the things announced by @RachelReevesMP today 👇

With @orgreavejustice campaigners in Parliament. Never forget, never forgive.. Justice for the miners!
