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:

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.

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
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.

The massacre at Peterloo sowed the seeds for universal suffrage and the trade union movement.
Today we remember their courage and bravery.
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.
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.
