Great to see so many Unite members out at Derby Silk Mill Festival yesterday, in spite of the weather ⛈️☔️🦆 The festival commemorates the Derby Silk Mill Lockout of 1833-34 where workers were locked out of the mill for forming a trade union in response to cuts in their pay.

Artificial Intelligence, if left unfettered, unchecked and without good Trade Unions involved in how it is used in the workplace is the single biggest threat to workers and their jobs. We need to be at heart of any implementation of AI- to ensure its use is applied fairly 👇🏾
"The only way we as a union believe that this can be managed is good, strong trade union agreements with employers in terms of how new technology can be used." Regional Secretary, Paresh Patel, on the impact of AI and surveillance on young and black and asian minority workers.
Thinking of all those folks hurt in Liverpool today and the local community impacted by this awful event. Also, all the fans trying to enjoy- what should have been a joyous day 😢🙏🏾 #youllneverwalkalone
Just an utter disgrace 👇🏾
How can a @UKLabour council and a Labour @GOVUK preside over these pay cuts and claim they are the party of workers? The recent local election results are a warning to Labour that the anger is becoming more widespread. The party needs to change course. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
This announcement is welcomed with cautious optimism. Future jobs created by East Midlands Airport’s expansion must come with good, quality and well- paid jobs. We cannot have a race to the bottom here! We’re ready to get stuck in and to get workers organised 👇🏾💪🏾
The proposal to create more car parking and warehouse space at East Midlands airport could boost the economy by £3.9bn and create more than 20,000 jobs. Unite believes the jobs created must be well-paid and unionised. unitetheunion.org/news-events/ne…
