On International Workers' Memorial Day, we remember all those who have lost their lives to work-related illness or injury.

Key to keeping people safe at work is a strong, organised union in every workplace.

Remember the dead, fight for the living! #IWMD25 @tuc.org.uk

The big downside of Apple News is being exposed to the bilge that is Telegraph headlines. For instance this one, which you won’t be surprised to learn is actually a list of all the things Gary Lineker was largely right about.

The rain came to greet me just as I got up to speak, and I appear to be sleep walking in this picture, but glad to support the rights of trade unionists in today’s embassy protest. Solidarity!

Independent trade unions have been a target of the Turkish government for at least a decade now, and it’s one of the 10 worst countries in the world for workers. There’s an embassy protest today in support of trade unions, arranged by SPOT.
