Backing 💪 Sarah Kind for Stations Company Council! I’ve seen first-hand the energy, knowledge & fight she brings. She’ll represent station grades with strength & skill. 🗳️ Vote Sarah! ✊ #RMT #Solidarity #StationsMatter 🚉👊
👊 Great to chair today’s East Mids Central branch meeting this afternoon, welcoming AGS Daren Ireland, NEC Member Lee Williams & Lead Officer John Watson. 🔥 Lively debate, sharp discussion – the RMT’s strength comes from its members! #RMT #Solidarity #EastMids @RMTunion
Left the Perry Barr picket and headed straight to the QMC to stand in solidarity with striking resident doctors ✊ From refuse workers to frontline medics — this fight is one and the same: dignity, pay, and respect. #BinStrike #DoctorsStrike #SolidarityForever 🪧🏥✊
✊ Standing in solidarity with Birmingham’s refuse workers this morning on the mega-picket at Perry Barr. An injury to one is an injury to all — we won’t stand by while pay is slashed and dignity stripped. #BinStrike #Solidarity #Birmingham ✊🪧🗑️
🚆 I welcome @c2c_rail returning to public ownership today — a victory for passengers and workers. But with 72% of our rail network still in private hands, the government must speed things up. - it’s happening far too slowly. #PublicOwnershipNow #RailWorkersVoice ✊
I graduated as a doctor 4 years ago with ~£100k of debt, and despite working up to 72 hours a week, my debt has only increased. Doctors are being paid £17/hour and have to make loan repayments and pay thousands for exams and fees. We are only asking for £23/hour. @wesstreeting
✊ It was a pleasure speaking to the striking health care workers at Nottingham City Hospital today. Shame on the bosses still refusing back pay for their hard work through Covid. Their dedication deserves respect – not betrayal. #Solidarity #PayJustice #NHSStrike 💙👊
Union bashing, how low can this cretin go!
BMA strikes are unnecessary and unreasonable. There isn’t a precedent in British trade union history for calling a strike after a 28.9% pay rise - let alone a five day strike. The NHS is hanging by a thread they’re threatening to pull.
This 83-year-old priest was arrested today. This is exactly why I voted against the ban in Parliament this week.
This you?
To clarify, again. We are not “all Palestine Action”, and the House of Commons is *not a student union. From midnight on Saturday, the vile group will be proscribed a terrorist group and banned. Thanks to our fantastic Home Sec and Security Minister.
✊ Was proud to attend my first @RMTunion AGM 2025 in Glasgow – important decisions were made and key policies passed. A real show of strength and solidarity. #RMT #Solidarity #AGM2025 🚆🚢🛤️🚌🚕
RMT AGM delegates mark the Day of Seafarer on June 25 calling for urgent action from the Government to ensure unions can take pre-emptive legal action against law-breaking employers before they carry out mass sackings like those seen at P&O Ferries. #DayOfTheSeafarer
If Jeff Bezos can spend that much on a wedding, he can afford to pay his taxes and his workers.
Congratulations to our newly elected Assistant General Secretary Daren Ireland.
Hey Don, you been drinking again? You got to stop these drunken rants…..
Today is @RMTunion National Organising Day. Every year, to commemorate Bob Crow's birthday - June 13th - our members hold recruitment activities. As workers continue to face attacks on their employment, there's never been a better time to #JoinRMT join.rmt.org.uk/app
When I called out UK complicity in the genocide in Gaza, Wes Streeting called it “cheap”. Now he calls it a “horror show” — as if Britain isn’t enabling Israeli genocide with arms and surveillance. A parlour game to him. A “cheap” performance while Palestinians are massacred.
Wes Streeting says the situation in Gaza is 'a horror show'. The health secretary said the UK is working 'intensively' with international allies to get aid into Gaza.
