😡 ILLEGAL STRIKE BREAKING | VILLAGE HOTELS GLASGOW

All relevant govt agencies must now investigate this matter urgently.

Village Hotels has sought to cover roles performed by striking workers through the illegal use of agency - they are behaving like a rogue employer and it will not be tolerated.

FVTUiC supports the demands of the Palestine Action hunger strikers. Their protest shines a light on the unbearable suffering of the Palestinian people who are displaced as a result of ethnic cleansing through violence and torture. The UK Government is complicit #freepalestine #hungerstrike #gaza

From our 1st meeting in Sept to now, TU members across FV have been busy organising campaigns, meeting local politicians, offering solidarity and speeches at different picket lines, hosting coffee mornings and attending community events. Now it’s time to rest and recharge for the year ahead ✊🏻

During the miners strikes of 84-85, in the Lothian coalfields and beyond, it wasn’t politicians that kept people going, it was community-neighbours feeding families, women organising kitchens, workers from other industries giving what little they had. Dalkeith & Mayfield retired Miners Xmas party ✊🏼

The Kelpies looking resplendent in orange to mark the end of #16DaysOfActivism . Unfortunately it doesn't mark the end of gender-based violence and across services we need to continue to work hard to call an end to harm #ForthValley16Days

'Simply obscene'. UCU comment on Stirling Principal's 40% £119k pay rise over 2 years making him highest paid VC in Scotland on £414,000 plus benefits. Salaries like this when we're facing funding challenges and redundancies across HE are unconscionable www.scotsman.com/education/th...

Imagine Reform coming to Falkirk just to announce you have your first defection from the House of Lords.

"People of Falkirk, a man who is just like you, LORD OFFORD! From his background as a New York Banker to becoming a Lord after donating £147 thousand pounds to them"

Community, solidarity, friendships and compassion. This is the Falkirk we know and love. We must continue to stand united. Farage and his pals don’t care about us. Falkirk is merely a trojan horse to him #falkirk #standuptoracism #solidarity

Scotland has never been a utopia free of racism.

Its ugly side has been seen for centuries.

Right now racist hatred is targeting the most vulnerable in our communities.

Our appeal aims to make sure that people are given the chance to start again in safety.

Please donate.

Because everyone deserves safety.

Please donate what you can.
