Unite West Midlands

Our reps at Coventry Building Society ran a brillant store in the workplace for Wellness Day. Fantastic to see our reps highlighting the issue of Mental Health and Wellness in the workplace.

🫶 Great to see London's bus drivers sending #solidarity to the striking Birmingham bin workers - 'your fight is our fight'. @BhamCityCouncil must halt its planned changes to which would result in workers losing up to £8,000 a year - THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!

Major Gill from Unite in Coventry handed the petition to the council on Thursday and said he wants to see something done about the taxi rank. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

🫶 Fantastic show of #solidarity from Unite members up and down the country for the striking Birmingham bin workers. @BhamCityCouncil must halt its planned changes to waste collection services which would result in workers losing up to £8,000 a year - THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!

🚨REVEALED: @BhamCityCouncil has spent nearly £8m on agency labour to break the bins strike. Let that sink in: A Labour council has spent £8m of your money to break a strike by its workers who face losing £8,000 a year! 👮‍♂️ It is unlawful for an employer to use agency/other staff…

Fantastic to see our National Women's Committe join our striking bin workers in Birmingham last Tuesday! Fantastic support being shown from all around the UK

Adrian fears he could lose his home after being told by @BhamCityCouncil his pay was being cut by £6,000. He and hundreds of families simply cannot take such big hits to their pay. We are so grateful to Adrian for bravely sharing this story with us. birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…

For months Birmingham strikers and residents have been lied to by the council and @GOVUK. Finally it is acknowledged that the government commissioners under @AngelaRayner did have the final say in the deal. Promised broken. #Birmingham 1⃣of2⃣⤵️ birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…

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…

➡️@AngelaRayner's commissioners are the decision makers. @BhamCityCouncil's MD Joanne Roney has no decision making powers and @BrumLeader @CllrJohnCotton has abdicated responsibility. We will not let workers pay the price for council debt with pay cuts. birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…

6 months into the Birmingham bin strike. Workers are staying strong and the community is united behind them ✊ The public see straight through Labour's decision to pull out of talks. Just this week hundreds of households have shown their support in @liambyrnemp's constituency.

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…

Today we welcome our Regional Committee who are meeting. These are reps who represent our region from all different sectors and work together to shape and drive our region forward ✊

Our general secretary, @UniteSharon receiving a standing ovation from delegates at Policy Conference this week as she spoke about the promises made and delivered since becoming our general secretary. A union moving forwards. A union winning ✊✊

😮 "The implication that the @BhamCityCouncil have somehow put offer after offer to the union and we've rejected that is completely and utterly false. @CllrJohnCotton may well say that but he wouldn’t know, he’s not been in a single negotiation" Unite's Onay Kasab calls out the…

Let's be clear, what @BhamCityCouncil has proposed is #FireAndRehire in a Labour council under a @UKLabour @GOVUK. @BrumLeader @CllrJohnCotton has never been in negotiations and @AngelaRayner, who is responsible for the govt commissioners, is now complicit. 1⃣ @UniteEconomy

📢Birmingham bin workers, I back you 100%, @unitetheunion backs you 100%! Today from Conference hall, you have the support and weight of the whole union! Solidarity ✊#Birmingham

📢 UNITE POLICY CONFERENCE HALL SAYS LOUD AND CLEAR | Unite oppose the cuts to disability benefits! ✊ These plans for disabled benefits cuts are divisive and sinister. The @GOVUK needs to drop its entire welfare bill. #TakingThePIP #WelfareReformBill

The Birmingham bin workers don’t want to be on strike, but they’re faced with £8,000 to £10,000 cuts in pay - could you take a 25% cut in your pay? And where is @BrumLeader? Posted missing from negotiations. Time to get in the room John. #WheresCotton bbc.com/news/articles/…

Creating a two-tier system where younger disabled people and those who become disabled in the future will be disadvantaged and denied access to work and education, is morally wrong. The @GOVUK needs to drop its entire #WelfareBill and start again!
