🕵️Undercover cops colluded in blacklisting trade unionists. Not us saying that: the police's Operation Reuben. So why is the #SpyCops Inquiry not allowing evidence on this? “Spycops colluded with blacklisters to destroy the lives of trade unionists. They must be brought to account for their actions” @UniteSharon unitetheunion.org/news-events/ne…

“Workers can’t keep paying for crisis after crisis they did not create. As bombs hit Tehran, energy bills in Britain are forecast to hit almost £2,000 a year this summer” @unitesharon RPI is up to 4.1%. Workers need a pay rise! 📈Facts and Figures unitetheunion.org/fandf

📈Unite reps are negotiating pay deals for hundreds of thousands of members right now. With war in Iran pushing up prices again, workers need a decent deal. Don't let profitable employers pull the wool over your eyes. Tools like Unite's Financial Insider let you see the real picture of what your employer can afford to pay 💰

"Our #NHS is 'running on empty' and in danger of a complete breakdown. The cuts are so serious that patient safety is being risked." I joined hundreds of Unite members and activists in Westminster in protest at planned cuts to NHS budgets and head counts. #SaveourNHS

@IHGhotels have now sacked a second union leader at @Kimpton Clocktower after workers started speaking out about working conditions. @TheRose_News has been asking people in Manchester what they think (part 1). The worker had already been suspended for over 35 days for 'failing to charge for a pint'—just one week after staff at the restaurant began organising, submitting a collective grievance over working conditions and calling for union recognition. Over a thousand people have already signed the petition calling for the company to recognise their workers rights. Kimpton Hotel: your reputation as an employer and business is on the line. It’s time for senior management to come to the table and negotiate in good faith. Sign the petition 👇 actionnetwork.org/forms/no-to-un…

Same job, less pay 😳 First Bus drivers in Doncaster are fighting for fair pay as the multimillion pound company are paying them less than those doing the same job in Sheffield - just 20 miles away. Drivers Neil, Paul, Andy, Damien and Christine explain why they're striking. Our message is clear: this dispute is about equality and respect. As @UniteSharon said: workers deserve pay parity, not a two-tier system driven by corporate greed. We stand firmly with our members taking action to be heard ✊

🎓 You don't need to be a Cambridge professor to work out that a 1.4% pay rise is a pay cut. Or that, for an institution with assets of £8.26bn, imposing a lousy deal like this in one of the most expensive cities in the UK is taking the Mickey! 📣 Support striking Unite members at the University of Cambridge.
