🤯 You won't believe what this agency manager tells workers emptying bins in Birmingham! 😡 Have senior managers at a The Labour Party council really said they won't employ anyone who joins a picket line? Isn't that called #Blacklisting ? Shouldn't Labour-run Birmingham City Council be against that?

🙌 Birmingham bin workers gave up £1k in shift pay to help the council out. 💸 Nathan says he stands to lose a further £300-£400 a month if the safety role is abolished. ⁉️ Would you put up with that?

London bus drivers are being pushed to their limits during heatwaves like this 🌡️ While temperatures hit 30°C+, driver cabs can soar above 40°C, creating dangerous working conditions that worsen fatigue, dehydration and stress. Many drivers report faulty air conditioning, inadequate cooling systems, and pressure to keep buses running despite unsafe temperatures. Some even avoid drinking water because they don't have reliable access to toilets. This isn't just a workers' issue. it's a public safety issue. Fatigue caused by extreme heat can reduce concentration, slow reaction times and increase the risk of accidents. Through our #FightFatigueNow campaign, we're demanding urgent action from Tfl and bus companies. London's bus drivers deserve safe working conditions. Passengers deserve safe journeys. ✊ #busdriver #BusDrivers #Heatwave #LondonBuses #tfl

Musk just became the worlds first TRILLIONAIRE. Meanwhile, public services are stretched to breaking point. Poverty is rising. Meanwhile, extreme wealth continues to grow. The economy isn't working for ordinary people. A wealth tax could raise billions to invest in our communities, strengthen public services, and build a fairer future. Tax wealth. Fund public services. Tackle inequality. It's time for those with the broadest shoulders to contribute their fair share. #WealthTax #TaxTheRich #PublicServices #WealthInequality

🚨BREAKING Deal agreed to end bins strike after 15 months! It is an absolute abhorrence that this deal has been blocked not just once but twice by unelected unaccountable commissioners and officers at Birmingham City Council. Congratulations to the Unite members who stood firm throughout, backed by their union. “The move made today by the leader of the council is a vindication of the bin workers’ struggle for a decent deal” Sharon Graham

The problem with privatised water 💧 Around 90% of the world’s water is publicly owned - but England and Wales still run on a failed privatised system. For too long, water companies have been aloud to extract cash from a public necessity, all while putting profits before people and public health. The result? Polluted waterways, high bills and a system that isn’t working. It’s time to end this failed experiment and bring England’s water back into public hands. #publicownership #water #privatisation #sewage

Why is it that the richest 50 families in the UK own £500bn - as much wealth as half the country - and instead of imposing a wealth tax on them we take money from pensioners and disabled people? Time for a #WealthTax says Sharon Graham

💔 We are deeply saddened to share the heartbreaking news that Unite member and Birmingham bin worker Steve Morris has suddenly lost his beloved wife, Tammy Morris. Her passing has come as a huge shock to all who knew her, and our thoughts are with Steve and his family at this incredibly difficult time. Many friends, colleagues, and members of the Union have reached out asking how they can help. We have set up a GoFundMe page to provide support for Steve and his family as they navigate the days and weeks ahead. All donations will go directly towards easing the financial burden during this period – whether to help with funeral costs, household needs, or simply to give the family space to grieve without additional worries. Any contribution, no matter the size, will mean so much. It will not only provide practical help but also show Steve that he is surrounded by love, care, and solidarity from our movement. ➡️ The link to donate: ⬅️
