Incredible proud to announce that, through our regions fundraiser, our movement has not only replaced the money Reform UK stripped from Durham Pride but has raised even more than they took away. This is solidarity in action! www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/2610382... @tucneyh.bsky.social

Come and join the team....

Greggs, Wendsleydale and curry sauce to gay steelworkers, organising and division in our class. Thanks to the folks at Local Heroes for chatting about the challenges working people face, and where my confidence comes from, that through their unions they can overcome them. youtu.be/JRDS6Kq44UQ?...

The 2026 NEY&H TUC & @racequalitynetwork.bsky.social Black Workers Conference is go! Great to see delegates from across the region coming together in Bradford to discuss anti-racism, collective power and communities.

Shout out to my old collueages at the NEU and their incredible art project celebrating LGBT+ Educators. I was really proud to be involved in starting this project, and great to see the amazing profiles captured by Gaz Lawerence, and to Graham Ward-Tipping the rep who made it happen!

Thanks to Dan & Chris at We Are Local Heroes for having me on their show this afternoon. Keep an eye out for it in the mext few weeks. A great chat about our movemenets heroes, politics, the food industry and a shared love of pickled beetroot!

Theatres assistants in Leeds deserve to be paid properly for the clinical tasks they carry out. I've just signed this petition to support them. Please add your name too. www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/pa...

Anyone still thinking Reform wont make gains where you are? Read this constituancy poll showing a 376 seat gain. Sheffield, for example, Labour loose all seats but 1, 3 to reform and 1 to the greens. This must be a wake up call for us all. Act. Organise. www.moreincommon.org.uk/latest-insig...

"Work related stress is rising fast, and the North cannot afford to ignore it" @tucneyh.bsky.social www.tuc.org.uk/blogs/neyh/w...

Thank you to @organising4achange.bsky.social for inviting me on their Podcast. As Trade Unionist we build hope among our members, we can and must be ambitious for what we can achieve – listen to our chat about our plans for the @tucneyh.bsky.social; open.spotify.com/episode/4wFB...

This is the disregard being fostered by the right. Those trying to debate being physically attacked. Actions like this will further erode our democratic spaces. We must all stand up and fight like hell for our class. share.google/dX2qcxfor485...

Sheffield University must reverse the threat to lockout UCU members without pay following their legitimate strike action. Please sign our petition to support our call to overturn this dickensian era approach to industrial relations. www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/no...

Our Regional Secretary @davepikesheff.bsky.social speaking over the weekend at a rally to support @unisonyh.bsky.social members striking over pay at the National Coal Mining Musuem. Sign our petition to support their call for the Cheid Exex & Trustees to go - www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/ch...

Yesterday I had the honour of representing the @tucneyh.bsky.social at Durham Pride's World Aids Day event. The politicisation of queer peoples health care, and its impact, is a trade union issue, and solidarity is the answer. Proper funding for HIV/Aids medical intervention must be our demand.

Thank you to the young trade unionists from across our region who came together for our annual Youth Patrol in Sheffield this weekend. Joined by a delegation from @social.verdi.de speaking to hundreads of young workers across the city, about their rights and why they should join a union

Thank you to @ucu.org.uk members at Sheffield University for welcoming us on their picket lines this morning. Solidarity in their fight against redundancies. Managment meed to stop playing games and make meaningful offers. Victory to UCU members in Sheffield!

A moving statement of solidarity with the Trans community to mark Trans Day of Rememberence. Thank you to Alex Summerson from the NEU, and our regions LGBT+ seat holder for expressing our message on this important day of commemeration. #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance #transrightsarehumanrights

Victory to @ucu.org.uk members at Sheffield Hallam & University of Sheffield Management must wake up and listen to staff, vanity projects and six figure salaries wont cut it! Our universities are a economic lynchpin for our region, and an engine of social mobility Solidarity to UCU members!

Solidarity with @ucu.org.uk members at Sheffield Hallam on strike this week over proposed redudancies. The leadership of Sheffield Hallam University must stop and listen to their staff. It is the lectrurers and support staff that keep a University running, not those on 6 figures salaries.

An amazing message of hope out of New York today A campaign focused squarely on the cost of living, unafriad to stand up for diversity, pulled off a political upset like few others Congratulations to everyone who took to the streets of NYC, you earned this win! labornotes.org/2025/11/zohr...

No woman should have to risk harassment or assault to earn a living. #Reclaimthenight #WomenEmpowerment @mayorofwy.bsky.social @westyorkshireca.bsky.social

Incredible show of solidarity and unity yesterday, and a truly diverse response, in Newcastle. Vastly outnumbering the far right, and showing Advance UK and UKIP what the North East is really about. A city of sanctuary in name and action.

Join the briefing on opposing the far right in Newcastle, tomorrow at 6pm www.tuc.org.uk/events/neyh/...

The far right is not welcome in Newcastle!

Proud to stand with @gmb.org.uk members at Airedale Hospital today. These workers keep our NHS running and deserve the same pay and conditions . NHS WORK = NHS PAY Solidarity with every worker taking action. #AiredaleHospital #NHSWorkers #Solidarity #FairPay @gmbcampaigns.bsky.social

Liberty Steel's collapse is devastating. It's another tragedy for UK steel - and South Yorkshire - brought on through chronic mismanagement by owners. But it's an opportunity for Government to take decisive action, as it did with British steel, to protect this vital industry.

Pride marches on – Durham Pride teams up with Durham Miners and trade unions for major fundraiser after council pulls funding. www.tuc.org.uk/news/neyh/pr...

Today represents a huge win for mining communities in South Yorkshire, and across the country. After decades of campaigning, miners and their families deserve answers about the 18th of June 1984.

Such a huge loss to our city. Uriah was a true trailbrazer and an incredible voice for our city and his community. Rest in Peace. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Proud to join @neunion.bsky.social & @nasuwt-official.bsky.social on strike across our region today at OGAT schools. Management must wake up to the demands of their staff. Extending the school day, and increasing workload will drive the recruitment and retention crisis, and damage education.

Solidarity with David Huerta, leader of SEIU. A union leader who started out in Justice for Janitor, organising immigrants in the US. He has now been attacked and arrested for fighting for immigrants again. ICE & National Guard out of LA now! uniglobalunion.org/de/news/stat...

Join the Orgreave rally on the 14th of June.

I am so incredibly proud to have been part of the @stonewalluk.bsky.social Leadership Program, and really sad that it has now come to an end. It has been so inspiring to spend time with LGBT+ Leaders, and I am really grateful to have been invited.

Solidarity brought from FBU, Unison, Unite, PCS & NASUWT, and messages of support from many others. We stand united behind striking UCU members. We will continue to stand behind them. Newcastle University must change direction.

Unions including @uniteneyh.bsky.social will rally in support of @newcastleucu.bsky.social members tomorrow - join us at the picket line www.tuc.org.uk/events/stop-... #ProtectEducationNow #UCU

"It is no surprise people want change, the government must deliver it." Local election results must be a wake up call. And while Nigel Farage likes to pose as a “man of the people,” his record tells a very different story. www.tuc.org.uk/blogs/it-no-...

An incredible morning speaking with colleagues from across the world about the importance of a worker led transition. The experience of South African National Union of Miners is a valuable lesson on its importance and what can be achieved.

It was an honour to be invited to speak at With Banners Held High. This inspiring event marks 40 years since the end of the miners' strike. A chance to remember the history of our movement, and build ourselves up for the work that we must do to build a better world.

Thank you to the amazing folks in Wakefield for having us at With Banners Held High. We gather to celebrate our history and commit ourselves to our fight for a fairer world.

Its time to organise against the right. Sign up to our 1 day briefings and see what you can do im your workplace.

Solidarity with UCU members on strike today. Our Universities need better funding, they are essential to the economic health of our country.

Everyday people defeated facism. They sacrificed so much so we could live in a better world. We owe them so much.
