Another excellent #MayDay in #Aberdeen with @AberdeenTUC and @unisonscot 's Josh Morris talking about student nurse poverty and @LabourMercedes on the 1926 general strike and current threat from the far right.

EXCLUSIVE: 'This country needed us - why is it changing migration rules to penalise us now?' Care workers trapped by government rule changes speak out. The current sponsorship system isn't fit for purpose and is open to abuse by exploitative employers. unsn.uk/4n8Yrz9

Another excellent #mayday in #Aberdeen with @AberdeenTUC and @unisonscot 's Josh Morris speaking about student nurse poverty, and @LabourMercedes on the 1926 general strike and the current threat from the far right. Solidarity!

This is what happens when vital council services are underfunded. It's not just potholes and bins! Scottish Government need to start funding councils adequately and paying their staff properly.

Its your union - make sure you vote!

✊For our jobs. For our communities. For our families. #ScotlandDemandsBetter

Working people across Scotland are suffering, but are coming together on 25 October to demand a better deal. We don't want racists blaming desperate people fleeing oppression, we want real answers!

Churches, charities and unions' march is deeply uncomfortable for SNP. Those taking part decided that they need to be bolder and “step outside the lanes we’ve created for ourselves”. In other words, lobbying is no longer enough – protest is also required. heraldscotland.com/news/25553775.…

We, along with the @ITUC, strongly condemn the raid by the Israeli army of the offices of the Palestinian General Federation Trade Unions (@PGFTU), in Nablus. This is a breach of international law and fundamental workers' rights. It is yet another example of the intimidation and violence that Palestinians living under Israeli occupation face. Those responsible for these actions, and other violations of international law, must be held to account. The TUC stands in solidarity with the PGFTU and all Palestinians in their struggle for freedom, justice and peace. We support genuine efforts towards peace that lead to a 2-state solution based on respect for international law, human rights, including the right to self-determination, equality, and respect for labour rights.

Time to rebalance the economy?

Lack of sick pay for care staff. Christina McAnea highlights how this drove infection rates. And how the issue still needs resolving.

Well done Lisa from @Unison_GHB !
