Today I joined @rmtunion.bsky.social protesting government changes to the Skilled Worker visa scheme which threatens the future of transport staff. The change also threatens many workers on Teesside including those in our NHS services who I met recently.

Great show of solidarity with @rmtunion.bsky.social today ✊🏽 These unnecessary changes to the Skilled Worker visa will have a devastating impact - threatening job security, livelihoods & creating gaps in the workforce. Hundreds of rail and Tube staff are at risk. This must be stopped immediately.

“You’re not paid according to the value you bring you’re paid according to the strength of your union. Use your industrial strength, or you’ll be taken for granted.” ✊ Powerful words from @rmtunion.bsky.social Eddie Dempsey on last night’s UCU Live. Thank you for the solidarity

Today I stood with @rmtunion.bsky.social members outside Parliament to oppose the Government’s cruel Skilled Visa changes.   I've spoken with TfL workers facing deportation in weeks, this is a disgrace!   Solidarity with all the workers fighting this injustice.

When our predecessors helped to found the Labour party it was to give working people a voice in Parliament. Shouldn't Labour now at least consult with trade unions before imposing sudden Skilled Worker visa changes that put transport staff at risk of losing their jobs?

RMT General Secretary, Eddie Dempsey: "Our members joined the rail industry in good faith, with the clear understanding they could build their futures here." Should the government pause changes to Skilled Workers visas so a full consultation can take place? Let us know your thoughts.
