🚨 Strike Action - Amcor, Cramlington It's now up to Amcor to come back to the table and settle this dispute - it's time to stop putting profits before people ✊ #UniteNEYH

🚨 Strike Action - Amcor, Cramlington Our members took their first day of strike action today. After years of low pay offers that don't address the cost of lives crisis our members won't stand for it any longer. #UniteNEYH

Meeting today with Local Authorities reps across the W.Yorkshire to discuss support from Thompsons Solicitors, employment rights changes, pensions, equalities, local politics & the role digital communications play in supporting members. Huge thanks you to everyone who attended

💥 #Jobs | Catering workers at Heathrow save their jobs (and take previous employer to court) 💥 #Pay | Bottle makers in in Cheshire win extra staffing and better health and safety 💥 #Pay | Workers at Stansted Airport win better pay 💥 #Conditions | North Sea Oil workers win union rights If you want better #JobsPayConditions Join Unite 💪 join.unitetheunion.org

Power to our rep Steph who's just won PPE that actually fits women, for her workplace! Safety at work isn't too much to ask of employers - but sometimes it takes a union #UnionStrong

Thanks to Kathryn Stainburn of Castleford Civic Society and @unitecomleeds for the invitation to attend the rededication of Herbert Smith's gravestone in Castleford. Smith was a huge figure in the labour movement, president of the Miners Federation of Great Britain (MFGB) during the #GeneralStrike 100 years ago, and legendary for his Yorkshire bluntness: "Nowt doing!" #GeneralStrike100

Today we called on Reform councillors at Doncaster Council to keep their promise and invest in Doncaster Sheffield Airport. With thousands of jobs and billions of investment at risk, our message is simple - support the £57 million loan and get the airport open now #saveDSA

👏 Victory for workers & for Doncaster! Today's vote to support Doncaster Sheffield Airport is a huge step forward for jobs, growth & the future of our region. Trade unions, workers & the local community stood together & made their voices heard 💪

Today on @bbclaurak It’s really clear @UKLabour needs to change direction or risk irrelevance. Be real Labour. #BBCLauraK

🚨 Strike Action 🚨 Planned action: Every Monday 18 May to 6 April '27 Unite regional officer Craig Patterson said: There is still a chance to prevent strike action, but that relies on Amcor coming back to negotiations with a new pay deal. Full story 👉 loom.ly/xhwGNLI

We're celebrating 100 years since the 1926 General Strike today in #Barnsley, remembering over 2 million workers on their 9 day strike that halted transport, industry and the press. This event highlights a historic moment of worker's solidarity fighting for a better future ✊

We are down in Barnsley today to celebrate the 100 anniversary of the 1926 General Strike. Today is not just about looking back, but also about looking forward. The trade union movement today is as important as it was 100 years ago and we are thrilled to be down here in what has been historic week for Unite and its members ✊

I was humbled to be in #Barnsley today. Honouring 100 years of the general strike. We should never forget that the real power of the labour movement is workers and activists. At the point of production, the crucible of resistance. The match that lights the fire of change. ✊

Today, we mark 100 years of the general strike - over two million workers held a nine-day strike that halted transport, industry, and the press. This event highlights this historic moment of solidarity for workers' & use those lessons to fight for a better future. #GeneralStrike

Some more photos from #IWMD yesterday

Today we marked International Workers' Memorial Day Health and safety isn't about box-ticking or red tape - it's about lives. It's not optional, it's a basic right. We remember those we've lost, and continue the fight #IWMD2026

🚨BREAKING Deal agreed to end bins strike after 15 months! It is an absolute abhorrence that this deal has been blocked not just once but twice by unelected unaccountable commissioners and officers at Birmingham City Council. Congratulations to the Unite members who stood firm throughout, backed by their union. “The move made today by the leader of the council is a vindication of the bin workers’ struggle for a decent deal” @UniteSharon

🚨 Strike Action - First, Doncaster It's day 3 of action for our members and their resolve is clear. They don't want to be out on strike, but they deserve #FairPay ✊ #UniteNEYH

Cummins is a hugely profitable company that can more than afford to put forward an acceptable pay offer. These workers have @unitetheunion's total support in taking strike action to achieve pay justice. #JobsPayConditions
