76 years ago today the HMT Empire Windrush arrived in the UK.

The Commonwealth citizens onboard travelled here to help rebuild the UK after the War - but still many are being denied their legal rights.

There must be justice for the Windrush generation.

This #MayDay let's remember what trade unions have delivered:

😷 Sick pay
⏰ The 8hr day
🏖 Annual leave
🌤 The weekend
💷 Minimum wage
✅ Health & Safety legislation
✊ And so much more

Here's to building even more wins for workers into the future 💪💪

BREAKING: More than 1,000 job centre security guards will strike in a dispute over pay 💷

It's a difficult, demanding and often dangerous job - they deserve better than the minimum wage.

Quality cleaning is essential to keep nursing homes safe.

Addressing labour shortages & high levels of labour turnover is crucial to ensuring safe homes for the elderly and vulnerable.

GMB Security staff at Fawley Oil Refinery held strong and have voted unanimously to accept Securitas pay offer which means the majority of the workforce will receive a well-deserved 31% pay rise, says GMB👇🏾👇🏻

How can @_austrian lose my family's two suitcases on a flight between Thessaloniki & Brussels (via Vienna) and not find them in 11 days? No hotline, no customer support, no helpdesk. Pls RT if you're fed up with airlines rinsing us and treating their staff poorly at the same time

[GMB Union @GMB_union]

We stand in solidarity with security staff across the world today ✊

How can @POferries sack 800 people with just 30 minutes' notice?
That's why I just signed an @itfglobalunion global letter of protest to owner of P&O @DPWorldUAE in solidarity.

"Migrant workers don't drive down wages, bad bosses and bad government policy does."

@GMB_union's Nadine Houghton says if the government cared about 'levelling up' "they'd make it easier for workers to collectively bargain to improve their pay and conditions”

Guards at Kabul embassy told they are ineligible for UK protection because they were outsourced.

Just like in the UK, govt denies all responsibility for outsourced workers.

202 years ago 18 people were killed and hundreds injured as they protested for the representation of working people.

The massacre at Peterloo sowed the seeds for universal suffrage and the trade union movement.

Today we remember their courage and bravery.

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

On International Justice Day for Cleaners and Security Guards, we recognise these key workers who kept our country safe during the pandemic.

It's time to give them a pay rise, secure employment and the ability to claim their rights regardless of immigration status.

With new access, organising and bargaining agreements this year with Hermes and Uber - GMB members can get on with the job of building their union in the 21st Century world of work. Let’s lend a hand and support them every step of the way! Amazon - our door is open.

@GMB_union Fantastic news - Well done to @RixyieOrganiser and all at #TeamGMB who made it happen 🙌

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

On International Workers' Memorial Day, we remember every worker who has died and pledge to keep the living safe.

Trade unions fight for safe work every day. Because safety at work is a right, not a privilege.

History has been made today.

Thousands of women workers at Asda have won the fight for equal pay.

Other employers should take note. It is not acceptable to pay a woman less for work of equal value.

#GMBWin 🧡💪🏾💪🏼
