Really enjoyed my visit to Tesco Avonmouth Distribution Centre, and it was great to meet so many passionate reps and members. Thanks for having me!

Proud to support @UsdawUnion’s Freedom from Fear campaign - tackling violence and abuse against shopworkers. Retail crime impacts us all and for workers it can’t be just “part of the job”. Pleased @UKLabour is taking action via the Crime and Policing Bill to protect workers.

Today we have heard the Chancellor’s choice to put the necessary money behind these legal protections for retail workers, to help improve the police response to retail crime and ensure more criminals are prosecuted @RachelReevesMP #Respect4Shopworkers usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/sp…

We thank @PauletteHamilto for raising the important issue of #Respect4Shopworkers, along with all the MPs who highlighted our longstanding #FreedomFromFear campaign and the experiences of our members. We welcome the response from @DianaJohnsonMP usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/po…

Good to meet @RachelReevesMP @hmtreasury @darrenpjones to talk priorities ahead of spending review: An industrial strategy & lower energy prices to support good jobs Investment in public services Delivering the employment rights bill A decent welfare system Fair taxes &…

We send our condolences to the family, colleagues and friends of the two firefighters and member of the public who tragically lost their lives in Bicester @fbunational @UnionSteveW

Today we remember the millions of people who laid down their lives to defeat a fascist ideology that has no place in our political world. We’ll never forget the sacrifices of those who fought for peace usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/ve…

Huge thanks to everyone involved in making #Usdaw25, my last ADM as general secretary, such a success.

Honoured to welcome Secretary of State for Health and Social Care @wesstreeting to #Usdaw25 today. Thanks to Wes for addressing Conference and taking questions from our members. @UKLabour is getting on with fixing the NHS after 14 years of Tory mismanagement.

#Usdaw25 I am so pleased and proud that in my final political debate as general secretary, we finally get to talk together about a #Labour Government. Not as an idea, but as reality #Usdaw4Labour usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/ad…

Unions have a unique role to play in countering the far right. Our commitment to equality, is to ensure that all workers are treated with dignity and respect. We have stood strong against racist and fascist threats before and we will do so again #Usdaw25 usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/ad…

Q&A with Usdaw General Secretary @PaddyLillisGS and Sainsbury’s CEO Simon Roberts , Fantastic @sainsburys Pre - @UsdawUnion Annual Delegates Meeting (ADM) in Blackpool

On International Workers' Memorial Day the labour and trade union movement remembers the dead and fights for the living by highlighting our all-year-round campaigning for better health and safety #IWMD25 usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/wo…

The scale of the epidemic of retail crime is laid bare in today's shocking police recorded crime statistics and Usdaw’s own survey #FreedomFromFear #Respect4Shopworkers usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/20…

I’d like to congratulate Joanne Thomas on her election as my successor. She is a first rate official and I couldn’t think of anyone better to lead our union and be a strong voice for our members usd.aw/3G6efku

It is shocking that Tory Peers were whipped into opposing the Employment Rights Bill, meaning that they are opposed to the fundamental principles of making work pay and employment more secure usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/em…

Today’s #SpringStatement shows that the Government is getting on with the job of delivering much-needed growth. Fairness and prosperity for workers must be at the heart of the mission usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/sp…

Young workers can be disproportionately impacted by issues at work. Thanks to Usdaw’s campaigning and a Labour Government delivering, we can see clear changes which will have a positive impact on the lives of young workers usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/yo…
