🤯What are @teamlabouruk.bsky.social & Birmingham City Council waiting for? Do what’s right by Birmingham’s bin workers & residents, & sort this mess out 🗑️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🤯 You won’t believe this bus company’s response to drivers being forced to pee in bottles! 🚌 No wonder bus drivers in Manchester are striking tomorrow!

💰You’re making billions… for someone. 🏤Private companies & shareholders profit from once public utilities that SHOULD belong to us. And what do we get? Higher bills & worse services. 🗞️Read all about it: www.common-wealth.org/interactive/...

🚨Inflation figures Inflation is once again on an upward curve. Since 2021, prices have increased 30% faster than wages. Many workers are still struggling to put food on the table. The govt needs to face up to reality, stop the profiteering & get more money into the pockets of everyday people.

The recent amendment by govt to the Employment Rights Bill, that allows councils in debt to #FireAndRehire their workers shows what is really going on at @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social. Council workers are being lined up to pay the price for years of austerity. Support bin workers ⤵️

🤯 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!

VCs don’t run universities. We do. After another real terms pay cut, UCU is launching a UK-wide strike ballot. Ballot opens October. Vote YES. #WeAreTheUniversity

Get ready for the higher education ballot - opening in October!

🚯 We won't let Birmingham Council bin its workforce.The whole union movement stands behind the Birmingham bin workers & their families, & the people of Birmingham, who deserve a fair end to their strike. We will not let any council, especially a Labour council, steal £8k from working families! ✊

Loud from @tuc.org.uk, @unitetheunion.bsky.social delegates are clear in their message to @uklabour - Stop the cuts to disability benefits, drop the entire welfare bill!

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 📈

“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 #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.

🚨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

Birmingham city council makes workers pay for council debt but have no trouble handing ex CEO nearly half a million pound. No wonder workers are asking Labour what the hell is going on?
