Today we have heard the Chancellor’s choice to put the necessary money behind these legal protections for retail workers, to help improve the police response to retail crime and ensure more criminals are prosecuted #Respect4Shopworkers #FreedomFromFear www.usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/...

Today we remember the millions of people who laid down their lives to defeat a fascist ideology that has no place in our political world. We’ll never forget the sacrifices of those who fought for peace www.usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/...

#Usdaw25 I am so pleased and proud that in my final political debate as general secretary, we finally get to talk together about a #Labour Government. Not as an idea, but as reality #Usdaw4Labour www.usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/...

Honoured to welcome Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Wes Streeting to #Usdaw25 today. Thanks to Wes for addressing Conference and taking questions from our members. Labour is getting on with fixing the NHS after 14 years of Tory mismanagement.

Unions have a unique role to play in countering the far right. Our commitment to equality, is to ensure that all workers are treated with dignity and respect. We have stood strong against racist and fascist threats before and we will do so again #Usdaw25 www.usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/...

On International Workers' Memorial Day the labour and trade union movement remembers the dead and fights for the living by highlighting our all-year-round campaigning for better health and safety #IWMD25 www.usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/...

The scale of the epidemic of retail crime is laid bare in today's shocking police recorded crime statistics and Usdaw’s own survey #FreedomFromFear #Respect4Shopworkers www.usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/...

I’d like to congratulate Joanne Thomas on her election as my successor. She is a first rate official and I couldn’t think of anyone better to lead our union and be a strong voice for our members usd.aw/3G6efku

It is shocking that Tory Peers were whipped into opposing the Employment Rights Bill, meaning that they are opposed to the fundamental principles of making work pay and employment more secure www.usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/...

Today’s #SpringStatement shows that the Government is getting on with the job of delivering much-needed growth. Fairness and prosperity for workers must be at the heart of the mission www.usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/...

Young workers can be disproportionately impacted by issues at work. Thanks to Usdaw’s campaigning and a Labour Government delivering, we can see clear changes which will have a positive impact on the lives of young workers www.usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/...

Our General Secretary @paddylillisgs.bsky.social joined colleagues from the @tuc.org.uk with Morrisons which has signed the Dying To Work voluntary charter. This provides vital additional employment protection for terminally ill workers. Read more: www.usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/...

"This is a huge step forward and represents delivery of the political aims of Usdaw’s Freedom from Fear’ campaign, but it is by no means job done." Usdaw general secretary @paddylillisgs.bsky.social spoke to LBC about Labour's Crime and Policing Bill. lbc.co.uk/opinion/view...

It has been a real privilege to serve Usdaw over the years and I feel proud of what we have achieved together. My time as General Secretary has brought many challenges, but I will be retiring with the Union in very good shape financially and with growing membership www.usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/...

Great to meet Keir Starmer today to discuss how we can better support good jobs and wages. We joined @tuc.org.uk colleagues at 10 Downing Street where we spoke about the Government’s Employment Rights Bill, as well as discussing the industrial strategy and improved public services.

Great to be in our South Wales and Western Region yesterday meeting the reps in @Tesco Cheltenham and @Tesco Brockworth, Gloucester. I always feel extremely proud of the work our reps do day in and day out on behalf of our members, regularly going the extra mile for the Union.

I was delighted to join our reps at Westminster yesterday to meet with MPs to discuss the Employment Rights Bill.

It was great to meet our @Asda reps today in Belfast with company directors Hayley Tatum, James Barge and Niall Keyes. I look forward to continuing working with @Asda to support our members in Northern Ireland.

So proud of all our winners at the #UsdawAwards. It was an honour to present the trophies to the national winners this evening.

Looking forward to the 2024 #UsdawAwards tomorrow. It's a pleasure to recognise the brilliant work done by our regional and national award winners.

Incidents of verbal abuse are much worse in December and through to the New Year, when shops are busy, customers are stressed and things can boil over. That is why we asked customers to ‘keep your cool’ and #RespectShopworkers www.usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/...

Retail crime, theft from shops and abuse of staff are real concerns for our members and we welcome that they have been highlighted at the highest level with the #PrimeMinister #Respect4Shopworkers www.usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/...

Proud to be voted Trade Union of the Year at this year’s SME4Labour awards. Small and medium enterprises are a hugely important part of our economy and their interests are best served by a Labour government, working in partnership with business and unions.
