FVTUiC supports the demands of the Palestine Action hunger strikers. Their protest shines a light on the unbearable suffering of the Palestinian people who are displaced as a result of ethnic cleansing through violence and torture. The UK Government is complicit #freepalestine #hungerstrike #gaza

From our 1st meeting in Sept to now, TU members across FV have been busy organising campaigns, meeting local politicians, offering solidarity and speeches at different picket lines, hosting coffee mornings and attending community events. Now it’s time to rest and recharge for the year ahead ✊🏻

Solidarity to the striking workers at the Village Hotel and Starbucks ✊🏻 Blackstone don’t need to worry about money so why can’t they pay their workers a real living wage?! #unite #villagehotels #starbucks

During the miners strikes of 84-85, in the Lothian coalfields and beyond, it wasn’t politicians that kept people going, it was community-neighbours feeding families, women organising kitchens, workers from other industries giving what little they had.

'Simply obscene'. UCU comment on Stirling Principal's 40% £119k pay rise over 2 years making him highest paid VC in Scotland on £414,000 plus benefits. Salaries like this when we're facing funding challenges and redundancies across HE are unconscionable www.scotsman.com/education/th...

Imagine Reform coming to Falkirk just to announce you have your first defection from the House of Lords. "People of Falkirk, a man who is just like you, LORD OFFORD! From his background as a New York Banker to becoming a Lord after donating £147 thousand pounds to them"

Community, solidarity, friendships and compassion. This is the Falkirk we know and love. We must continue to stand united. Farage and his pals don’t care about us. Falkirk is merely a trojan horse to him #falkirk #standuptoracism #solidarity

See you all tomorrow folks ✊🏻🚩stay safe, stay united! #falkirk #standuptoracism #ayewelcomerefugees

We are working hard behind the scenes to get our hub up and running. We can wait to welcome you all!
