We are hurtling towards a repeat of last summer’s racist riots If you are working near a potential flashpoint, seek advice from your union: tuc.org.uk/resource/prote…
Police vans attacked outside the Bell Hotel in Epping during an anti-immigration protest. Comes days after two security staff were attacked near the hotel in what is being treated as racially aggravated assault. Some in the crowd lobbing objects at police and counter protestors
Solidarity with everyone on the streets of Glasgow resisting the racists today!
Such inspiring action by doctors across the country. Keep fighting for what you are worth 💪
Drs Komal Doal and Noah Sattah joined the picket line having just finished their 12.5-hr night shifts. Dr Doal (right) says the current pay offer from government, which represents a 1% uplift in real terms, was ‘disappointing’ ‘We’ll continue to fight for what we are worth.’
One of the coolest things I’ve seen in a while Props @strike_map and all involved!
‘Mass picketing is back’ Birmingham’s striking bin workers and supporters bring waste sites to a standstill morningstaronline.co.uk/article/mass-p…
HELLO and GOOD MORNING to everyone but *especially* to the HEROIC Birmingham bin workers on strike and every single person who’s on the picket lines today supporting them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤️
For years it’s been clear to me that Israel would commit crimes this horrific for the sake of killing off every trace of Palestinian life. You only had to pay attention, and believe what Israelis said. But I wouldn’t have believed the world would watch and let them do it.
Frontpage of the Daily Express shows Muhammad Zakariya Ayyob al-Matouq, one, who weighs the same as a three-month old baby. Israel is blocking aid into Gaza and using starvation as a weapon of war.
My good friend Alex, a retired school teacher, who until recently I served as Co-Chair with, is in court next week. He did nothing but steward a peaceful protest on January 18. These charges, brought months later, are purely designed to intimidate. Please attend if you can 👇
‼️ Defend the Right to Protest ‼️ Our chair @Alex_Kenny_NEU and @CNDuk GS @SK_Bolt are in court on 31 July facing public order charges in relation to the peaceful Palestine protest on 18 Jan If you're in London and able to get along to Westminster Mags Ct, please join us!
🛑 Stop Starving Gaza 🛑 🚨 Day of action to demand immediate govt action to end Israel’s deliberate starvation of women and children 🗓️ Friday 25 July 📍 Downing St and across the UK ⏰ 6pm ❗️ Bring 🍯🥘
20 years 💔 Thinking of Jean’s family today. Never forget how @metpoliceuk covered up their murder of this innocent man and promoted and pensioned his killers.
10 years today since the Met Police shot Jean Charles de Menezes dead. A racist murder. Don't let them tell you they are 'on our side'.
Children CHILDREN are starved to death in Gaza!
"These workers are expected to take an £8,000 cut in their wages. That is unacceptable.. the way they've been treated is outrageous" @UnionSteveW from the @fbunational on the Birmingham bin workers
A successful strike, a healthier workforce 💪
🚨 Major win for staff at Outwood Grange Academies Trust! NEU members were on strike over increased workload and longer school days. The trust has now dropped its plans and the dispute has been resolved. Settlement includes safeguards on tutor time, cover, PPA trials at home,…
My god, she once wore an expensive dress, 16 years ago. This is horrific, thank you so much The Times for bringing this story to our attention. I now support the mass murder of Palestinian children. Once again thank you brave Times journalists.
What a pathetic “report”. Sixteen years ago, a teenage girl modelled a designer’s expensive dress. Now she’s a grown up peace activist?! Admit it, @thetimes, you couldn’t resist the urge to scoop to Daily Mail lows and post pictures-galore because she’s hot.
Hi @GLA_Airport. Settle with Unite. Come up with a decent offer, and the strike's off. We are waiting...
Glasgow Airport Ltd is refusing to meet Unite. Unite Officer for Civil Aviation Transport, Pat McIlvogue, spoke to BBC Scotland to publicly call on Glasgow Airport Ltd to come to the table and remove any threat of strike action.
We're taking part in @The_TUC's workplace temperature week of action, 14-20 July. With thermometer at the ready we'll tour our campuses and see what @UniofNottingham staff experience as the temperature rises. Invite us to visit where you work! Email [email protected]. #TUC
As temperatures rise across the UK, employers must take all reasonable steps to achieve a temperature as close as possible to comfortable unsn.uk/44lEddG
