There's a deal to be done, it was on the table in June this year. @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social need to get back to the table so we can put that deal to our members. @unitetheunion.bsky.social members will continue until this dispute is resolved, they have no other option but to strike.

🔥UNITE WIN | AIRBUS I’m pleased that our members stood together and by doing so they have achieved this improved deal that sees increases to their pay and pensions. It is nothing less than their skill and determination deserves. ✊ #JobsPayConditions

Some of these workers have been doing the job for over 20 years and they're being told by @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social that they must drop their wages by a 1/4. I don't see the councillors' or council leaders' wages being dropped! @unitetheunion.bsky.social will not stand for it.

Birmingham bin workers are being told to take an £8k pay cut. These workers will be unable to pay their mortgages, their rent. Why are workers in Birmingham paying for a crisis not of their making? This is the incompetence of @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social

📢 Workers will not crumble, they will not move on and they will not give up. Today in #Birmingham we lined the streets with Birmingham bin workers and stand shoulder to shoulder with them. The whole trade union movement is with you. Solidarity. ✊

Stagecoach is one of the biggest bus operators in the country and there is no excuse for sending an insulting message like this to staff. 1️⃣⤵️

🤝 @unitetheunion.bsky.social recognition agreement | GIPSIL Congratulations to our members at GIPSIL - their commitment has paid off, with GIPSIL’s workers ability to achieve improved #JobsPayConditions now much stronger. 💪💥

🚨Inflation figures Inflation is once again on an upward curve. Since 2021, prices have increased 30% faster than wages. Many workers are still struggling to put food on the table. The govt needs to face up to reality, stop the profiteering & get more money into the pockets of everyday people.

🚨 The Scottish Govt will establish a furlough scheme to support the retention of all jobs at bus manufacturer Alexander Dennis. The immediate priority is now to secure new orders for Alexander Dennis which will protect hundreds of highly skilled jobs for years to come. #Scotland

The recent amendment by govt to the Employment Rights Bill, that allows councils in debt to #FireAndRehire their workers shows what is really going on at @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social. Council workers are being lined up to pay the price for years of austerity. Support bin workers ⤵️

There is a social care crisis in Scotland. It is getting to the point of no return whereby social care provision could become irreparably broken. It is outrageous workers' pay is so low. Unite is committed to moving the dial and ensuring social care workers get fair pay and decent conditions.

Throughout this dispute the govt has denied any involvement. It's now clear that the govt's own commissioners have blocked a ball park deal thrashed out at ACAS. Council workers are being lined up to pay the price for years of austerity. #Birmingham ⤵️

If there’s any more dilution of the workers rights bill, it won’t be worth the paper it’s written on! #TUC25

Loud from @tuc.org.uk, @unitetheunion.bsky.social delegates are clear in their message to @uklabour - Stop the cuts to disability benefits, drop the entire welfare bill!

I'm concerned that we're moving down a road where Labour are watering down the 'make work pay' element of the Workers Rights Bill. Workers will look at that and feel duped. @itvnews.bsky.social #JobsPayConditions

There is a feeling by me, by my members, by workers across the board, that Labour is moving so far away from Project #Labour that it’s hard to justify being affiliated to them. They may not think that’s a problem but it will be a problem.

The government must enact full reforms of workers’ rights as promised to the British people. Pledges to enhance the rights of employees were a central part of Labour's election platform, we will not allow the employment rights bill to be weakened. #TUC25

The govt has amended their own legislation to make it easier to fire and rehire public sector workers. There is no ban! Labour need to deliver for workers. Be the voice for workers, put them first rather than at the back of the queue. #TUC2025 @skynewsrss.bsky.social

Labour need to avoid taxing workers to fill the gap in the public finances and start drawing up plans for a wealth tax. If this keeps happening, the feeling that workers always pay, but they’re leaving the super-rich totally untouched – I think they won’t recover from it. 👇

🔥 UNITE WIN This shows once again the power of a union and that Unite is winning for workers. I'm delighted for our members who should be proud of their victory. #JoinAUnion #UnitetheUnion

I've spoken with the govt and said they must put money on the table and prioritise bids for Lindsey oil refinery that prioritise jobs. They must take decisive action to secure a sale and protect jobs at the refinery.

We cannot stand by and watch oil & gas workers become the coal miners of our generation. What is happening at Lindsey & Grangemouth are acts of industrial vandalism, grotesque spectacles of corporate decapitation. If these refineries close it will never be forgotten or forgiven.

I'm with Lindsey oil refinery workers outside Parliament today to call on the govt to secure a sale and protect jobs at the refinery. The refinery is a critical national infrastructure; supplying 10% of the UK’s domestically produced fuel. Its future must be guaranteed.

🚨 Nearly 1,000 Lincoln Siemens Energy workers will receive substantial pay rises after voting for strike action. Well done to @unitetheunion.bsky.social members. Unite’s overriding priority is delivering better jobs, pay and conditions for our members. ⤵️

🚨 BIRMINGHAM BINS | STRIKE EXTENDED Throughout this dispute the govt has denied any involvement. It is now clear that commissioners reporting to Angela Rayner blocked a ball park deal thrashed out at ACAS. 1/2 ⤵️

Plans for disabled benefits cuts are divisive and sinister. 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. #PullTheBill Please sign👇

STRIKE! Paying poverty wages, refusing sick pay, refusing to recognise unions and bullying our members. Disgraceful behaviour! @unitetheunion.bsky.social and our members will not stand for it. We have tried negotiating to no avail so now GFM will see the anger of our members on the picket line.

Bus employers everywhere need to get the message loud and clear: Driver pay simply does not reflect the stresses and strains of the job. Fatigue, a lack of toilets, abuse and even assaults are a daily occurrence. @unitetheunion.bsky.social will fight tooth and nail for #bus workers.

Strikes by 600 Stagecoach workers across Newcastle, including drivers and engineers, have been called off after workers voted to accept an improved pay offer. 💬 By sticking together in their union, the workers at Stagecoach North East won a satisfactory pay deal from their employer. ⤵️

Hundreds of Plymouth Princess Yachts workers celebrate 6.5% after workers voted to strike This is a huge victory for the Princess Yachts workers, who by sticking together in their union and voting for strike action forced the company back to the table.

Gatwick ICTS baggage screening strikes off after 7% rise 💬 This is trade unionism in action: By being prepared to strike, ICTS workers at Gatwick won a seven per cent pay rise. 💥

Promises made to workers of Grangemouth have been broken. @unitetheunion.bsky.social produced a clear plan for the site to be transformed, to back workers and create the promised green jobs. 1/2 ⤵️

Bus employers need to get the message loud & clear: driver pay does not reflect the stresses & strains of the job. Fatigue, lack of toilets, abuse & assaults are a daily occurrence. @unitetheunion.bsky.social will fight tooth & nail for bus workers until wages & conditions improve across the sector.

Over a thousand workers rely on the future of the oil refinery; their jobs are now at immediate risk, through no fault of their own. The government must step up and #SaveLOR

Together, we are delivering and leading change. We are a union now that is rooted back to the workplace, thousands of Unite shop stewards and reps winning✊ #jobspayconditions

The disgraceful actions of the government and the so-called Labour-run Birmingham City Council is essentially fire and rehire and make a joke of the ERA promises. People up and down the country are asking whose side the Labour government is on and coming up with the answer, not workers.

🚨 @unitetheunion.bsky.social secures recognition for members at Lineage in Peterborough.

As GDP growth slows again, it is clear the chancellor’s fiscal rules are shackling the economy. Workers can’t wait forever for investment in our public services and industry. We need real improvements in wages and living standards now. news.sky.com/story/uk-gro...

In Birmingham, a Unite poll has revealed 77% of residents believe the government should do more to resolve the dispute. And 49% say they will be less likely to vote Labour at the next election if it continues to refuse to intervene.

My column for Real Britain | The Mirror ➡️Brum bin workers are being told to take up to £8,000 worth of pay cuts or face #FireAndRehire while councillors' allowances increase and government commissioners – brought in to control the council – earn an eyewatering £1,200 a day.

Unite win 🎉 Increases worth up to 11.6 per cent Unite the Union has successfully delivered better jobs, pay and conditions for Glasgow airport workers.

The cap in place for private hire vehicles is about protecting a fair, safe, and accessible transport system. The demonstration and petition being handed in by Unite’s taxi membership raises really important issues not just for the drivers but for everyone in Glasgow. Keep the Cap!

🚨Unite shop stewards suspended on trumped-up charges! This is a case of union busting, pure and simple - and @unitetheunion.bsky.social will not idly stand by while two hardworking shop stewards are singled out in this way. ⤵️

When this government came into power, it was clear that the NHS was broken. But staff are still leaving in droves and morale is still at an all time low. The NHS can’t be repaired while the government continues to erode pay and drastically cut NHS budgets. 1️⃣/2️⃣ ⤵️

➡️ Unite has proposed a 1% wealth tax on the net assets of the richest 1%, it would raise £25bn a year. Alongside other measures, including taxing corporations’ excess profits, we’d have the money to restore vital services. We’d start to tackle the grotesque inequality that is poisoning our society.

The whole of our union supports @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social striking bin workers. Council leader @cllrjohncotton.bsky.social has not attended a single negotiation and Angela Rayner, who is responsible for government commissioners, is complicit in the #FireAndRehire of these workers.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS | Oscar Mayer This is a tremendous victory by low paid workers who were prepared to stand up to their employer and fight back against pay cuts while defending fellow workers. ✊👊💪 #JobsPayConditions

The government's plans for disabled benefits cuts are divisive and sinister. 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. #TakingThePIP

The role of @unitetheunion.bsky.social members, branches & regions in supporting the campaign for justice for Orgreave has been vital in securing the public inquiry. The public inquiry must ensure it gets the answers & uncovers the truth of who was behind the attack on striking miners at Orgreave.
