BREAKING 🚨| @unitetheunion.bsky.social has affiliated to #StrikeMap. On affiliating to Strike Map, @unitesharon.bsky.social said, "There is power in a union and Strike Map is building solidarity across the trade union movement." 1/2

The Employment Rights Bill is an important milestone but must be part of a wider strategy to raise living standards and restore labour's share of wealth. Trade unions are central to that, providing the infrastructure through which workers can secure better pay, safer workplaces and a stronger voice.

The most urgent task of the Labour government is clear: raising living standards. Trade unions are central to that. They are the vehicle through which better pay, safer working conditions, and fairer working workplaces can be achieved. Equipping them effectively is fundamental.
