“This government is prepared to take really bold and decisive action to support British industry... We need to transition in a responsible way that supports jobs and our economic & national security”

This union-backed plan can keep the Scunthorpe blast furnaces running to protect thousands of jobs through a fairer and lower risk transition to green steel. The cost to retain the UK's only remaining primary steelmaking capacity is just £200m - in mitigation of carbon costs.
By empowering workers with the AI skills they will increasingly need, trade unions can be at the forefront of getting the UK working with AI.
Really proud of the work @CommunityUnion and @GoogleUK are doing together on this.
Supporting workers, embracing innovation.
AI adoption amongst trade union workers could unlock economic growth worth £89bn by 2030. That’s why we’re partnering with @CommunityUnion to ensure that everyone reaps the benefits AI at work. https://t.co/KIXsCMNqrH

Out on the doorstep in a sunny Uxbridge today!
Great response for @DannyBeales, and a clear message that it’s time for change.
Change only happens if you vote for it. #VoteLabour
Today at our #OneUnion conference, Community's @Chris93Wallace chaired a panel discussion alongside @Jude_KD, @mikefosterEUA, @GFGAlliance's Jo Milligan on how we can achieve decarbonisation across the UK that will help secure jobs.
Thank you all for attending today. 🙌
I am so proud to have been selected as the Labour candidate for Halifax.
We have the chance to build a better future for Halifax and the country. Only a Labour government will bring change after so many years of Tory decline.
I’ll see you all on the doorstep soon! 🌹
At @CommunityUnion we hear every day about the challenges our members on the frontline face.
Our joint report with Public First sets out solutions which politicians can deliver, the public want, and which frontline staff desperately need.

Violence against prison officers has soared since the pandemic with 23 attacks a day recorded last year across England and Wales.
Sky's @amandaakass has been speaking to one prison officer who suffered catastrophic injuries during an attack at work.

Excl on @SkyNews: With 23 prison officers attacked each day, @CommunityUnion warns without "major, generational reform" the "epidemic of violence" will only get worse. One officer tells me about the terrifying ambush where he was beaten with his own baton https://t.co/xR6HfzMXhz
Here's why Tata, UK Govt & ALL unions must get behind the multi-union steel plan... the *only* credible alternative to the Tata-Tory bad deal for steel.
Tata using Unite’s disengagement as an excuse to cut thousands of jobs is too painful for my constituents to consider.
It’s been one week since the UK Government and Tata’s bad deal for steel.
An EAF only future for our steel industry is wrong and we need to see proper investment in our steel industry like the £3bn pledged by the @UKLabour.
We simply can’t have a decarbonisation on the cheap approach.
Community knows the importance of steel and we need the public, Government, and companies to know it as well.
We’ve produced a video to help get that message out.
We need you to share it far and wide because - Britain, We Need Our Steel.

Community Union and @GMB_Union have written to @RishiSunak on behalf of thousands of steelworkers about our concerns over recent reports.
