Everyone has the right to a union. So when it comes to securing #JobsPayConditions, don't leave all the power in your employers hands. After all, can you really trust them?

Local businesses in Birmingham are suffering. Like residents & bin workers, they want to see an end to the strike. Why did @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social walk away from a ballpark agreement and from all negotiations back in the summer 2025?

Here's some simple financial calculations for a major financial company:
💰Profits - £28.9m
📈Dividend payment to parent company TCS - £14m
😠A 5% rise for all staff would cost less than the dividend
Diligenta can afford a decent pay rise!
