Councils are at breaking point after years of cuts. Services stripped back, communities suffering. We need fair funding now. Watch the video and email your MP to demand action: actionnetwork.org/letters/emai...

As #DisabilityHistoryMonth ends, Unite honours disabled members across BAEM, LGBT+, women, carers, young & retired. We pledge to fight for equality every day. #UniteSolidarity #Inclusion #DisabilityJustice

Human rights are union rights. Disabled people deserve dignity, safety & equality. Unite says never again to exclusion & prejudice. Disability rights are human rights. #HumanRightsDay #DisabilityJustice #UniteSolidarity

On #IDPD, let’s demand care that puts people first. Profit has no place in social care—sign the petition and stand for dignity, equality, and public provision. 👉 www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/pr... #PeopleOverProfit #SocialCare #UnitetheUnion #TUC

Today we celebrate disabled workers everywhere. Women, BAEM, LGBT+, young, retired & carers face intersectional barriers. Unite demands access, respect & adjustments for all. #IDPD #DisabilityRights #UniteSolidarity #Inclusion

On #WorldAIDSDay Unite stands with all living with HIV/AIDS. HIV is a disability under law—stigma must end. Solidarity across LGBT+, BAEM, carers, young & retired members. #DisabilityJustice #UniteSolidarity #HiddenDisabilities

Today’s the last day of my Movember fundraiser! I’m £55 away from my £100 goal for men’s health. If you can afford to donate, even a few pounds, it helps support mental health, suicide prevention & cancer research. Thanks for backing this. Support my fundraiser: #Movember #MensHealth #LastDay

Disability History Month began last week. Unite honours disabled people born with, acquired through work, or living with hidden disabilities. Equality is union justice. #DisabilityHistoryMonth #UniteSolidarity #Inclusion

This morning on @bbclaurak.bsky.social ⤵️ Rachel Reeve's budget must see a change to the fiscal rules so that we can borrow to invest and Labour must introduce a wealth tax.

I look weird with a ‘tache. The final week approaching so if you can please donate here: Support my fundraiser: movember.com/m/15449256?m... #movember #unitetheunion #testicularcancer #mentalhealth

As Movember wraps up, thank your donors and reflect on the impact. Post your final Mo photo, tag supporters, and share your fundraising total. Let’s finish strong and keep the momentum going. #ThankYouSupporters #UniteForChange #MovemberWrapUp #MensHealthMatters #BlueskyMovember #UniteTheUnion

Equalities Minister tears apart logic of EHRC’s “trans-exclusive” guidance in High Court 👇 https://www.wearequeeraf.com/equalities-minister-tears-apart-logic-of-ehrcs-trans-exclusive-guidance-in-high-court/

Myth: “Trans people don’t exist.” Fact: Trans people exist. Claims that they’re just confused or ill are baseless and harmful. Gender identity is valid regardless of mental health or sexuality. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #TransMythbusting #LGBTQIA #Inclusion #Equality

Myth: “Trans youth get unsafe treatments.” Fact: Puberty blockers are reversible, prescribed by experts, and used to delay puberty safely. Fewer than 100 UK trans youth accessed them via NHS before the 2024 ban. Sources: Science for Georgia, ILGA-Europe (2024)

On Transgender Day of Remembrance, Unite honours lives lost to transphobic violence. We stand with trans & non-binary members, fighting discrimination, defending rights, and building solidarity. Trans rights are human rights. Unite for equality, justice & trans lives.

Increased spending on harmful conversion therapy shows why urgent action is needed. Unite calls for a full ban to protect LGBT+ people from abuse. Join the campaign: www.unitetheunion.org/campaigns/ba...

This issue has been raised in the Wales Local Authorities RISC to push our reps to use the Social Partnership laws in Wales—fighting for proper funding and provision of public toilets for workers and disabled members of our communities. #publictoilets #disabledmembers #busdrivers

Trans Mythbusting Claim: “Trans women have an inherent advantage in sports.” Fact: Research shows feminising HRT does not give inherent advantage—some studies suggest the opposite. #TransRights #TransAthletes #SportsEquality #Mythbusting #transawarenessweek

UK Disability History Month begins 20 November. Unite uses the social model of disability, recognising that members are disabled by barriers in society—not by their impairments. Speak to your equality rep to learn why the medical model is flawed and how the social model empowers change.

Trans Mythbusting: “Transition is just a phase.” Actually, <1% of trans people detransition due to regret. Most stay trans for life. Regret rates for knee surgery? 6–30%. But no one questions that. #TransRights #LGBT+ #TransHealth #Mythbusting #TransIsBeautiful

This week, focus on fundraising. Try creative ideas like naming your Mo, auctioning style choices, or subdividing your Mo for donations. Every pound raised helps fight prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and support mental health initiatives. #UniteTheUnion #MovemberMission #BlueskyMovember

Yesterday marked the start of #TransAwarenessWeek A week to help raise the visibility of transgender and gender non-conforming people, to address the issues the community faces. The #tradeunion movement is built on solidarity among workers in an explicit acknowledgement that we are #strongertogether

😡 Blacklisting workers for union activities is despicable.  Those who do it are breaking the law and must be held to account.  Birmingham’s bin workers are well aware that there is something rotten at the top of the council.

Week two of Movember is about visibility and dialogue. Share your moustache progress and talk openly about men’s mental health. Your Mo is more than facial hair—it’s a symbol of support and solidarity. #MoProgress #MoBroSupport #UniteTheUnion #Movember2025 #FaceOfChange #BlueskyMovember

I’m taking part in #MoVember to raise awareness of men’s health! I’ve set a goal of £100, and I’m almost there - just £90 to go! Every donation helps tackle #prostatecancer #testicularcancer & #mentalhealth challenges Support here: movember.com/m/15449256?m... #unitetheunion #menshealth

Black History Month – Standing Firm in Power and Pride Nina Simone was born in 1933 and trained as a classical pianist. But racism denied her opportunities — so she turned to jazz, blues and soul, transforming her voice into a weapon for freedom. qrco.de/bgELra #BHM2025

The recent amendment by the govt to the Employment Rights Bill, that allows councils in debt to fire and rehire their workers shows what is really going on here. Council workers are being lined up to pay the price for years of austerity. ➡️ www.unitetheunion.org/news-events/...

@cardiffcouncil.bsky.social telecare staff face unsafe lone working and unfair leave rules. A staff survey shows rising anxiety and burnout, risking care quality. We urge the council: act now to protect workers and residents—before this dispute escalates.

We have been informed that Birmingham City Council is reaching out to other councils for support to clear the backlog of waste in #birmingham. We stand firmly against this move and remain united with Unite members in other Local Authorities. #UnitetheUnion #solidarity #notoausterity #communityfirst

Cardiff Council expects staff to use their own vehicles for work and carry passengers but refuses to pay the extra 5p per mile allowed under HMRC rules. Unite demands a review of this unfair policy. If this affects you, contact us to share your experience. #UniteTheUnion
