Nestle's private equity sale must not mean a bonfire of workers' rights.

We've seen it too many times before.

Private equity moves in, and the squeezing of workers for every last drop of profit starts. It cannot happen here.

Thames Water is banning your hosepipe while losing 570 MILLION litres a day to its own leaks. 💧

Customers pay hundreds a year and get a 77% rise in complaints for their trouble.

Fix the leaks. Bring water back into public ownership. 🔗 https://t.co/oe5zts21MC

WIN 🚨

Plans to strip Coastguard Rescue Officers of their callout pay have been scrapped.

Ministers confirmed in Parliament today that the expenses-only model will not go ahead.

Members campaigned. Members won.

The MCA stayed silent. We won’t. Coastguard Rescue Officers deserve respect, union recognition, an end to fire & rehire threats, & continued remuneration.

Kelly spoke powerfully on @GMB this morning on behalf of our heroes. The campaign isn’t slowing down. #SaveOurService #GMB

GMB’s coastguard membership is growing every day, and it was great to spend time with some of them at Durham Miners’ Gala.

Coastguard Rescue Officers perform a vital role keeping the public safe.

They deserve full union recognition and pay justice.

[Deanne Ferguson @Deanneferguson]

Coastguard Rescue Officers @DurhamGala. Their campaign is unstoppable.

@MCA_media it’s time to sit up & listen. These heroes save lives every day. They deserve respect, recognition & protection.

Reverse your decision. Now. #SaveOurCoastguards #DurhamMinersGala #GMB ✊🏼🧡

Almost half of coastguards would be forced to reduce or stop lifesaving work if pay cut plans are carried out.

These volunteers are heroes.

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency must U-turn.

[GMB London Region @GMBLondonRegion]

GMB Coastguard Rescue Officers took to Parliament today to demand the MCA rethink its plans to axe callout pay.

These are the people who leave their beds, their jobs and their families when the pager goes off.

Cuttings costs, costs lives, and today they told MPs exactly that. The MCA needs to listen.

Our hardworking members deserve better.

🚨 Breaking: The government is removing remuneration for Coastguard Rescue Officers who bravely save lives on our UK coastlines all year round.🚁

These changes will threaten to destroy our coastguard services and threaten lives.

British glass manufacturing jobs are being put at risk by the planned glass tax.

Infinitely recyclable glass must not be more expensive to handle under EPR regulations than plastics.

Thanks @jacobcolliermp for raising this in Parliament.

So proud and privileged to be part of the wonderful NEYH Delegation. You have all been truly outstanding and inspirational this week. @GMBCampaigns

150,000 GMB members in Local Government have rejected the pay offer.

A 3.3% rise when energy bills are sky rocketing isn't good enough.

School staff, carers and refuse workers deserve more.

[GMB Union @GMB_union]

Unions have long known Jingye will not negotiate in good faith.

Nationalising British Steel is vital.

British Steel is a nationally strategic asset - it matters that the Government is doing everything in its power to secure its future.

We welcome this decisive intervention.
