The Brum bin workers are not asking for a pay rise; they just want the Government to stop attacking their pay. No one can afford to lose £8000 per year; it's ludicrous and unnecessary. It's time for @AngelaRayner @UKLabour to bin her Tory commissioners, get in the room and…

I just wrote to @AngelaRayner to stop the cuts in #Birmingham Take action now with @strike_map, @GFTU, @UniteEconomy actionnetwork.org/letters/write-… #BirminghamBinStrike #DumpTheCuts #BinStrike #BrumBinStrike

📢End strike breaking! It's time for @jobandtalent_hq to stop supplying strike-breaking labour to @BhamCityCouncil. With immediate effect, they must cease providing refuse loaders or HGV drivers to BCC. @UniteEconomy #BrumBinStrike

When I was elected @unitetheunion GS, I promised to uncover the truth about allegations of historical corruption, particularly in relation to the Birmingham Hotel and Conference Centre. I can now provide information from the independent inquiries I commissioned, through this…

😡Steve Reed banned the Water Commission Report from exploring public ownership in England. 🤣He says it's too expensive. But the £100bn figure comes from a 2018 report funded by the water industry. We say that it's nonsense, & the experts agree. Watch this video to find out why

Just in case you'd somehow forgotten how morally disgusting the 2-child limit is, we still need to have court cases like this to decide how it operates. Obscene that Labour left it in place and suspended 7 MPs for taking the right stance. From @rightsnet rightsnet.org.uk/welfare-rights…

The real kudos lies with @orgreavejustice for their relentless campaigning, but let’s give some credit to @UKLabour for coming good on their promise. It shows they can stand with workers when they choose - let’s hope they do so soon and intervene in the Birmingham bins strike.

Congratulations to our friends at ⁦⁦@orgreavejustice⁩ - your tenacity and perseverance forced this enquiry. We must now ensure it leaves no stone unturned in uncovering the horrific injustices perpetuated on miners, their families and communities. unitetheunion.org/news-events/ne…

🪧 For nearly a year, workers at @VeoliaUK Sheffield have been on strike - not for more pay, but for the right to be represented by a union of their own choosing. 📝 Over 6,000 residents have signed a petition, sent complaints to the council and @SheffCouncil which pays Veolia…

Striking #Birmingham bin worker Danny nails it at our Policy Conference last week. @BhamCityCouncil and unelected commissioners controlled by @AngelaRayner are forcing austerity cuts on our members to fix a financial mess the council created. Quite reasonably, @unitetheunion…

After numerous weeks of speaking to residents in 6 wards, this week we have reached the milestone of a thousand conversations with concerned constituents in Birmingham. Out of the 1098 residents we have spoken to, 928 have agreed to a bin sticker. This equates to 84.5% in…

In this explosive and exclusive interview with @birmingham_live @UniteSharon evidences what was suspected all along; the unelected & expensive, part time commissioners who have been kept in place by @AngelaRayner are blocking a deal which would allow normality to return to…

🚨Village Hotel Strike🚨 On an 81% turnout, 100% of members have voted in favour of historic strike. We now have a legal mandate to shut down the most lucrative departments of their flagship unit unless @Village_Hotels move on: ✅Living Wage ✅Equal Pay ✅Paid Breaks

In advance of this meeting, our branch has agreed £300 donations to the Sheffield Veolia strike fund and the Birmingham bin strike. We encourage other branches to get along to the meeting tonight and contribute what you can to two disputes with national significance.

An increasing number of people are being forced into reliance on an overworked charity sector due to poverty. The political class is unwilling to take steps to reduce poverty. Yet they are also unwilling to provide additional funding for the services that ameliorate it.
