Workplace organising and #BlackHistoryMonth

We'd like to thank councillors at Newham Council who last night passed the @GMBRACE motion on the #EthnicityPayGap

Today marks the start of #BlackHistoryMonth It is a month we learn, celebrate and are re-energised by the many vital contributions Black Britains have made and continue to make across our country. Black history is British history. ✊🏾

The government backtracked on enshrining the Ethnicity Pay Gap into law earlier this month, showing how broken its moral compass is. @GMBLondonRegion @GMBRACE has instead been working with @UKLabour in power locally & regionally to step up & show leadership. Read my article 👇🏾

Our @GMBRACE @GMBSouthern campaign on introducing Ethnicity Pay Gap takes another positive step forward! The Greater London Authority (GLA) just passed our motion around Ethnicity Pay Gap - thanks to @LabourMarina & @unmeshdesai for leading this through London City Government.

Wishing all Muslims across the GMB, UK and Ireland a happy and peaceful Eid al-Adha. Eid Mubarak!

Yesterday marked 75 years since the Empire Windrush arrived in the UK. The #Windrush75 generation’s contribution to our country is immense – we owe them so much & must never forget how they have been treated. It was fantastic to host a joint @gmbrace @LondonCoop event.

2023 marks the 75th anniversary of the Empire Windrush #Windrush75 #WindrushJustice

Proud to move @GMB_union motion on Enshrining Ethnicity Pay Gap reporting into Law at @The_TUC Black Workers’ Conference. So pleased it passed unanimously- thank you to all the unions across our movement for supporting ✊🏾 #TUCBWC23

Thank you @SadiqKhan for supporting @GMBLondonRegion members at Pilgrim’s Food Masters in Southall who are threatened with fire and rehire. #FryerAndRehire is an outdated and savage attack on workers that has no place in today's world of work. @GMBPoliticsLDN @GMB_union

Our members at Pilgrim foods, who supply @Tesco @sainsburys @waitrose are bravely battling against dirty, draconian, “Fire & Rehire” tactics by their employer. This week we launched our campaign in Parliament, now we push on. #FryerAndRehire #MembersFirst
