We’re demanding @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social Chief Executive retracts the outrageous comments made by senior managers about the council’s own staff, at a meeting on public housing.
Last week, it was said that their first cost rental public housing scheme would be outsourced to private operators.

Well done to our friends in BALPA pilots for their win against Ryanair!
A ruling found in favour of pilots placed on a blacklist after a 2019 strike. The ruling also sets an important precedent in enforcing the laws on union activities, protecting themselves & workers across Britain.

Still marching for Palestine.
Today we're dedicating it to the people who will hopefully be able to rebuild Gaza. Many of them work or worked in jobs just like those in Fórsa.
The ceasefire is just the beginning, our solidarity and support for them has to double now.

Very exciting morning as we launch the campaign to win pensions for ALL school staff.
School Secretaries & Caretakers are not entitled to a pension, despite their incredible work at the heart of our schools.
It's shocking and unfair, but it's going to change. The fight begins.

Win for workers! AirNav workers have voted yes to pay rises of 17.1% (compounded) over 5 years from 2025 to 2029.
They also got between 2-6 incremental points removed from most pay scales & a review clause if inflation is over 11% during this time.
Look what workers get when they're in a union.
