📣 The workers' rights demands Labour has shelved - why the Greens have launched a Workers' Charter ✊🏼 UNISON NDC '26 Green Party fringe 6pm, Thursday 18 June - Harbour Hotel, Brighton BN1 1NA With Sarissa Guo, Robyn Banks, Tim Green, Shireen Asaw, Sacha Ismail. Chair: Kameron Spence

Read the Green Party’s “Workers Charter”, launched at our May Day Rally by @zackpolanski.bsky.social Labour now take more money from corporations than unions, they watered down the employment rights act, and speak against striking workers. @greenparty.org.uk are the strongest party for workers.

Since Thatcher crushed the unions profits and productivity continued to soar whilst wages collapsed.

The Greens are now the strongest party for workers 🤘

“It’s really important that we pay our workers properly. That starts with a £15 minimum wage - and it shouldn’t change depending on your age.” Green Party leader Zack Polanski on wages at the launch of the Green Workers’ Charter.

On International Women's Day, Hannah Spencer used her maiden speech to highlight some of the many working class, trade unionist women who began the fight we continue today. She calls for other working class people to join her as an MP. Bus drivers, nursery workers, scaffolders etc. GPTUG agrees. ✊

Unite votes to cut Labour funding by 40%. UNISON elects Andrea Egan as general secretary. The Greens soar past Labour in popularity amongst NEU members. We are witnessing historic shifts in the trade union movement.

The minimum wage for people over 21 is wholly inadequate as it is. For those under, it's utterly shameful. Farage's suggestion that it needs to be brought down further is shameful. People starting out in the workplace deserve better than him, better than Reform, and better than Labour.

Young Workers Month has just started and Farage has announced that Reform wants to lower the minimum wage for young workers. ✊ Join us to fight for a £15 minimum wage and an end to wage discrimination.

Reminder: Here's what Nigel Farage tried to take away from you this week...

Major victory for workers’ rights across Europe: the EU formally adopted the revision of the European Works Councils Directive. Strengthens workers’ representation in multinational companies & ensures enforceable rights to information and consultation on decisions that affect jobs & conditions.

Defective equipment, no sick pay & ‘blackmail’😳 Birmingham Bin agency staff have come forward with what happens behind the scenes at Job & Talent - the refuse agency that currently has a contract with Birmingham City Council. It’s no wonder workers are balloting to strike 📣

Amazon cutting 14,000 jobs while registering astronomical profits shows everything that’s wrong with the business. Bezos spends billions launching celebs into space, but he can’t treat his loyal workforce with dignity. We'll always stand with Amazon workers.

PCS is supporting the counter-protest at 1pm on Saturday, 28 June, as we stand together against the far right’s attempt to exploit the issue of grooming gangs to spread racism and Islamophobia. Speakers will include PCS president, Martin Cavanagh among other leading trade unionists and campaigners.

Our pay campaign is just beginning. At conference, delegates voted to approve a plan: ✅Win pay progression ✅Address pay inequality ✅Recover after years of austerity To deliver this, we need investment. If sufficient progress is not made, we will consider industrial action.

It's time to reverse austerity - not double down on it. Cuts to disability benefits are an attack on all of us. There is an alternative: tax the rich. If you're in London on Monday, join the protest outside parliament at 4.30pm

Nigel Farage the worker’s friend? No chance. He voted against ending fire and rehire. He voted against sick pay from day 1. He wants to privatise the NHS. We see you.

Things the Employment Rights Bill will do: - End zero hour contracts ✅ - Ensure fair pay for workers ✅ - Support flexible working hours ✅ Things it won't do: - Shut down pubs 🙄 Nigel Farage and Reform UK do not support working people. ❌

Support the academic boycott of Brunel over mass job cuts. A major conference has moved off campus and pension trustees have refused to attend a Brunel event. Brunel must work with us to avoid needless redundancies. Solidarity. #BoycottBrunel #UCU #Solidarity www.ucu.org.uk/article/1399...

Prospect has long been lobbying the government to resolve restriction of movement for touring professionals in the creative industries. Ahead of the UK-EU summit we need urgent action to remove barriers to touring across the EU.

“They need to make different choices, we have a VC on £470,000 a year - its hard to argue while you're making people redundant" @newcastleucu.bsky.social speaking to BBC North East about strike action today

Today workers across the country took action to demand our government end all complicity in Israel's genocide against the Palestinian people.

Really glad to see the government agree to put anti-slavery measures into the GB Energy Bill. Our transition to a sustainable economy must not be built on the backs of people suffering human rights abuses in other parts of the world.

BREAKING 🚨 We're joining trade unions and climate groups to demand that the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, fund a workers’ transition for oil and gas workers. We stand in solidarity with all workers demanding a fast, fair and funded energy transition. @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social @foescot.bsky.social

I've also joined the @GreenPartytu.bsky.social and I hope other may consider doing the same to ensure the Green Party moves further to the left and up their game on worker-led Just Transition

The Government's disability benefit cuts will affect 700,000 families who are already in poverty as well as driving another 250,000 people below the poverty line. Labour are CHOOSING to target nearly 1 million disabled people instead of taxing the super-rich fairly.
