🤯 You won't believe what this Tory MP thinks about workers getting sick pay! 🤒 What “minor reason” have you not gone to work for? Covid? Flu? Heart attack? How out of touch is Graham Stuart MP? And they wonder why no one is voting Tory anymore! They'd have you back in a workhouse in seconds!

💰HMRC could raise billions by taxing extreme wealth ✅ Unite & @tuc.org.uk want a #WealthTax ✅ Leading economists want a wealth tax ✅ 68% of the public want a wealth tax ✅ 80% of UK millionaires want a wealth tax ⁉️ Shouldn’t Rachel Reeves introduce a wealth tax?

📺 WATCH: Women trade unionists send a powerful message to Deputy PM Angela Rayner 📣 For the past 8 months, Birmingham bin workers have been on strike against pay cuts of up to £8k. If Labour wants to be the party of working people, it needs to stand with workers – and act. So where is Angela? 🤷‍♀️

❓Here's a question: 🤔 Imagine you're a Labour government and you need money after years of Tory cuts. Where would you try to find it? ❌ In disabled people's benefits cheques? ✅ In the investment accounts of the super-rich? Answer in the comments & share

Birmingham bin workers threatened with fire and rehire, wages cut by £8,000. No wonder workers are turning their backs on Labour. 📢 Sign our petition and tell Angela Rayner to sort it out NOW! cutt.ly/QrP9yoVJ

We fought against winter fuel cut backs, and we will continue to reject any attempt to balance the country’s finances on the back of people that have already felt the weight of 15 years of austerity - the working class must not pay for crisis they did not create 📣

We are often lectured about how higher wages ‘lead to inflation and higher prices’, but nobody wants to talk about the CEO pay spiral 👀 Pay inequality is rampant, while the value of average wages drops, top earners pocket more and more 📈

Unite Project Clean Up report on allegations of historical corruption ⚫£30m overcharge on hotel ⚫“ask no questions” culture under old regime "Creating transparency is what I promised. We need to ensure that this can never happen again" @unitesharon.bsky.social 👇 www.unitetheunion.org/media/rhkan2...

“I’m lost for words. We’re living in the cost of living crisis and they’re just decimating the working class people.” The reality is a resolution from Birmingham City Council doesn’t exist and for striking bin workers too much is at stake 📣 Read in @novaramedia.com: novaramedia.com/2025/08/06/b...

The first hotel strike in 40 years looked like THIS 👇 Our union is giving full support to Village Hotels Glasgow staff fighting for a living wage and equal pay for every worker 📣 In a sector that Unite Hospitality continues to organise, we will keep backing hospitality workers Solidarity ✊

The #NHS can’t be repaired while the govt continues to erode pay and slash budgets 📣 Our recent ballot has shown staff overwhelmingly reject the below-inflation pay offer, with 95% also willing to take industrial action to fight for change. We need radical change to reverse 15 years of austerity.

Village Hotels workers are standing up against unfair pay, they're demanding: ✅The Real Living Wage of £12.60/hr for all ✅Paid breaks for everyone ✅Backdated wages for under-21s to match their Edinburgh colleagues 💵 Please donate to the strike fund if you can cutt.ly/NrSuLfNZ

🚨REVEALED: Birmingham' 'Labour' Council has spent nearly £8m of YOUr money, on agency labour to break the bins strike. 👮‍♂️ It is unlawful for an employer to use agency/other staff to cover the work of strikers 💰 The council could fix this strike for much less than it is spending on busting it

When @unitesharon.bsky.social was elected she promised to uncover the truth about allegations of historical corruption in Unite, particularly in relation to the Birmingham Hotel & Conference Centre. The interim report she commissioned is now available here👇 tinyurl.com/bdhm43aw youtu.be/xvOxh9AdrXk

🚨 BREAKING POLLING 🚨 What the media don't say about the Birmingham bins strike: 😡 90% of Bham residents say they wouldn’t accept bin worker pay cuts 😡 65% say they would strike too 😡 65% rate @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social & @cllrjohncotton.bsky.social's handling of the dispute as bad or very bad

More billionaires than ever before. The top 50 families as rich as half the population. Isn't it time for a #wealthtax Rachel Reeves? 🤔

🤔 Zero-hours contracts. All about flexibility right? 😃 They sure seem to work for the employers 😡 But for many workers they often mean insecurity, low pay, and worse rights ⛔ Labour's Employment Rights Bill needs end #ZeroHours contracts. No ifs. No buts!

📮 Send a postcard to @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social Say no to pay cuts of up to £8k per year! Council leader, John Cotton, needs to see the scale of the support for the city's workforce & anger at these pay cuts. Will you click to send him a postcard? ✉️ supportbinworkers.unitetheunion.postbug.app

✊‘Proud to be a bin man. Proud to be a striking bin man. Proud of my striking brothers & sisters’. Too right Mike. When your employer tries to take up to 25% of your pay, what else are you going to do but strike back? 🪧

Is it time to take key sectors of the economy into public ownership? With Trump's tariffs, climate & technological change industries are in transition. For the govt. to deliver an industrial strategy, doesn't it need its hands on the wheel? ❓asks @unitesharon.bsky.social

"Proud of coming from Birmingham. And proud of the bin workers, sticking to what they believe in. I’ll feel even prouder when they win!" Thanks for your support @ub40official.bsky.social ✊

If @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social are serious about wanting to end the bins strike they could do 2 simple things: 1 - put in writing what their leader has told the press 2 - get in the negotiating room. Unite will negotiate all weekend if need be. Why can't the council make time to meet till Weds?

🤷‍♀️ Why do @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social say one thing to the press & another in negotiations? ❓A simple question: Will you protect your workers' pay? Yes or No? 😮 And why can't they be bothered to continue negotiations till next Weds? It's almost like they're not serious about resolving this strike

🤷‍♂️ How much have your profits gone up since the pandemic? No? You're probably paying tax too right? Profits & the wealth of the super-rich are rocketing 🚀 💰 Isn't it time for a #WealthTax ?
