Unite Broad Left

The Unite Broad Left is an inclusive, democratic Left formed to support and extend the Plan for Change (Sharon Graham's manifesto).

[Unite Broad Left @BroadLeftUnite]

With 695 nominations… Re-elect Sharon Graham as General Secretary of Unite the Union. For a fighting union! Take the fight to the bosses-whoever the employer is.

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

Nigel Farage is certainly no friend of the working class. A privately educated former banker who moved from trading in the City to trading in fear. The rise of Reform and Restore is down to the non-delivery of Labour. It is now time for Labour to deliver. This latest diversion must not distract from that. 2/2

"By the time of the next Executive Council meeting in October, the General Secretary elections will have concluded. Sharon Graham is standing for re-election on her strong industrial and political record, but Unite members cannot be complacent" https://t.co/OLsb3zmSLO

A pleasure and a privilege to stand with strikers on the GKN picket - the boss's bonus was a whopping £45m. The biggest of any CEO on the FTSE100. A disgrace that the company is quibbling over 5.5% for workers!

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

While its workers are struggling with the city’s sky-high living costs, Cambridge University sits on an ever-growing mountain of wealth worth billions of pounds that it refuses to share.

Oxford University already has a local pay supplement; now Cambridge University must do the same.

It was a privilege to be on the picket line last week. We will keep fighting until we have a fair deal for the university’s workers.

When I was elected, I promised to take our union #BackToTheWorkplace. To put money back in the pockets of Unite members.

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

When I was elected I promised to take our Union back to the workplace. Back to its members. No more blank cheques for Labour. The jobs, pay and conditions of our members will always be my first priority. I’m standing for re-election so that we can finish what we started, continue the change to be a union that fights for workers’.

@fbunational You're perfectly correct and he has now been fired.

Simon Dudley's remarks are a shocking insult to the people who lost their lives at Grenfell and to their families.

The Grenfell Inquiry found the tragic deaths of 72 people, entirely avoidable. To have a senior Reform figure undermine that is unacceptable.

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

Council workers must no longer be penalised for a crisis not of their making. Austerity is a political choice and the national employers must change tack and invest in frontline public sector workers.

FAIR PAY NOW!

Oppose War in Iran - It's already causing 1000s of deaths, injuries & displacement. It's escalating rapidly. The ripple effect will cause widespread economic hardship, with gas prices soaring by 93% already. As always, the working class will pay while the rich profit.

I'm a member of the #Unite Broad Left.
With our Executive Council elections coming up, if you are a rep or an activist in Unite you should consider joining us too. #UBL #NSSN

Defending defence sector jobs, pay & conditions while supporting transition to socially useful production
This is important from @BroadLeftUnite #Iran

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

Wake up call for @UKLabour

If Labour needed any further wake up calls - this is clearly one. Labour need to now ditch the gimmicks and get back to being Labour - not new, not one that plays games, but real Labour.

Workers and families are hurting. We have a cost of living crisis largely being ignored and investment in jobs for the here-and-now being blocked by a Treasury that doesn't seem to understand the basics of what is needed to build Britain.

Stop listening your rich mates and start listening to everyday people. -#GortonDentonByElection

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

.@RachelReevesMP #budget delivered for the bond markets and City bankers, while increasing stealth taxes for millions of workers.

The Treasury seems mesmerised by so-called fiscal rules as British industry is left to wither on the vine and our public services face #austerity.

I’m seeking nominations for the LGBT+ seat on the upcoming Unite EC elections. I’m a supporter of the @BroadLeftUnite and am standing as part of the Workers Unite slate: https://t.co/Qa66qg9I45. Statement below.

[Dave Nellist @davenellist]

My appeal against being banned from the #YourParty executive elections has been rejected. Thanks for everyone's support. There seems to be no further avenue. Whatever happened to the five independent members the Conference decided would oversee Your Party alongside the MPs?
You can read my appeal and April Ashley's in this week's edition of The Socialist, where other Socialist Party members and I will continue the fight for a new national party of the working class, with trade unions and trade unionists at its heart, which argues for the widest anti-austerity and anti-war electoral challenge this May: https://t.co/07GBtSFYXx

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

Unite under my leadership we will always put workers' first. We will not sell our soul, stay silent for political favour. We will continue to fight for jobs, pay, public services, and a workers' transition to #NetZero and AI. We cannot have a jobless transition. @UKLabour must invest in our industries. Back Britain. 3/7

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

I ❤️ our NHS

We should never forget that behind the headlines of crisis, how important our NHS is, how committed the staff are, and how we need to nurture, treasure and invest in it. What a blessing it is for us all. @DailyMirror #NHS ⤵️

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

First is guilty of trying to deny workers the back pay they are fully entitled to, in order to line its own pockets.

Our members have rejected this latest offer which denies them pay justice.

They have @unitetheunion's complete support.
