Time for Amazon to get around the table and start talking to their workforce.
As it’s Orange and #BlackFriday, we paid a visit to Amazon HQ to hand in a pay claim on behalf of thousands of GMB members.
Amazon’s profits are built on our members’ work - they deserve to share in the astronomical success of the company. 🚀
It’s time for £17.

Good to host @bankofengland.bsky.social governor Andrew Bailey at Congress House today.
We shared with him union views on the importance of higher pay and secure work for boosting living standards and growth.

Ahead of the Get Britain Working White Paper, here's 5 things you need to know. 1. 80% employment rate would mean 1.5-2.5m more people in work. Other countries have done it & we can get there by narrowing gaps between groups. 3.5m out of work but want a job. learningandwork.org.uk/resources/re...

A government trying to level the playing field & repair our public services…
Or the defenders of the status quo who have nothing to lose but their tax breaks?
I know whose side I’m on.

The same newspapers who scream increases in the national minimum wage will damage the economy, are happy to go to the barricades for a tax break for Clarkson, Dyson & friends.

Testament to the incredible work of teaching and teaching support staff across our schools.
Well, this is very interesting. Good to see & imagine what our schools & colleges could do with private school levels of resources...
State schools have closed the gap with private schools in GCSE results, once we adjust for socioeconomic differences in their intakes.

With UK GDP only up 0.1 per cent in Q3, this would also suggest that Budget decisions to invest in growth were the right ones

This would be good news for jobs market and our wider economic health (although higher rates of population ill health still v concerning) @nyecominetti.bsky.social @adamcorlett.bsky.social What are your views on what this might mean for inflation debate? Less capacity lost than some have feared?
V important from Adam 👇
UK's employment rate might actually NOT be down on pre-pandemic levels.
There is still uncertainty but personally I am now more prepared to believe this than the LFS, which describes a UK post-pandemic participation hit unique among rich countries.

Just how wrong might the Labour Force Survey have been about employment, unemployment and inactivity rates? My new paper estimates these rates independently of the LFS and gives quite different results... www.resolutionfoundation.org/publications... 🧵

Pause for thought before using this morning's inflation data as evidence of anything other than changes in energy prices (which are regulated with a price cap). Across wider measures inflation is low, with prices rising at below 2 per cent. Stronger growth must remain the priority.
