All of us at UNISON are horrified by the attack on the Jewish community in Manchester. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families, and all those marking this holy day of Yom Kippur.

Our support goes to the emergency services who are responding to this appalling tragedy and those affected by today’s events.

🚨 Solidarity with striking workers at the National Coal Mining Museum in Wakefield.

They’ve been left with no choice but to walk out after months of unfair treatment and broken promises on pay. UNISON stands firmly with them and the museum managers must come back with a fair offer. @unisontheunion

Lack of sick pay for care staff. Christina McAnea highlights how this drove infection rates. And how the issue still needs resolving.

[Christina McAnea @cmcanea]

What a fantastic inspiring speech from @LeeSaunders, President of @AFSCME!

It was an honour to hear about his unions fight to save jobs and services, and how we can learn from each other.
