    Our GS states 'We can win on ‘Fire and Rehire’ and win more often, if we fully commit to focusing on building union strength and organisation at the workplace.' We cannot let bad bosses get away with this!

    In Parliament tonight I told the Tories that there’s an alternative to taking more money from workers’ pay packets. A Wealth Tax on the richest 1%.

    I am sorry to see this. Thank you Marsha for the tremendous work you have done campaigning to highlight the huge challenges disabled people face and for the policy programme needed to address these issues. You will be much missed in this role.

    We must put an end to ‘fire and rehire’ - with Labour in opposition and a government reluctant to act, our response now must be industrial. No politician is coming to save us. Now is the time for trade unionism.

    UK Tory minister says Universal Credit claimants can recoup their £20-a-week benefit cut by working just 2 extra hours. No. There is a taper and some claimants will only take home £2.24 an hour. Normal people's world is alien to billionaire ministers.

    Anyone with any concern for the wellbeing and health & safety of prison officers working in our prisons will appreciate a retirement age of 68 is too late. Maybe should watch the very realistic BBC drama “Time” staring 👮🏼‍♂️
