Eighty one years ago today Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated.

This Holocaust Memorial Day we must remember the importance of standing against prejudice and hate.

Today is Equal Pay Day: the day women effectively stop earning compared to men.

We fight inequality wherever we find it.

That’s why GMB Union members have launched more than 25 equal pay claims at employers across the UK 👏

Today is World Toilet Day

Millions around the world do not have access to a toilet. Some walk miles just to find one. Lack of safe, clean toilets spreads disease, puts lives at risk & strips people of their dignity. Clean water & sanitation are not a privilege - they are a basic human right.

TfL's decision to roll back the Cleaner Vehicle Discount is deeply disappointing.

Drivers who did the right thing and went electric - just like City Hall asked - face paying thousands of pounds in new costs.

We are also losing one of London's most effective clean air tools.

Drivers who switched to EVs may face thousands of pounds in extra costs because of proposed changes to the Congestion Charge.

This change would affect professional drivers, as well as couriers, key workers, and small business.

Many #Uber drivers are reporting deductions of 50% or more between what riders pay and what actually gets passed on to them - far above the company’s stated average.

This raises serious questions about transparency, fairness, and sustainability in the #GigEconomy.

Big gig operators must come clean. Stop hiding behind token “cleaning fees.”

Pay drivers properly. Cover the full loss of time when platform issues hit - like when riders are sick in the vehicle.

Fair pay. Fair treatment. Nothing less.

Attention Taxi & Private Hire Drivers

Due to the recent rise in racist attacks on drivers, it’s more important than ever to stay safe.

Protect yourself - install CCTV camera with monitor (ensure compliance with Licensing & ICO regulations).

Your safety matters. Don’t take risks - get protected.
