We've redesigned Workplace Report @LRDunionnews - full of news and features about work, with the latest pay data and employment law cases.

Now more focussed on clear communication, union reps should have even more impact. Good design can change lives for the better.

Union activists should never rely on the law to defend members or win better pay, equality & safety. Our strength comes from organising with our co-workers to take collective action.
BUT when negotiating, we should always have the best & most up to date information @LRDunionnews

Off to bed. Just want to leave this here for the wet and one nation Tories who tomorrow will vote that Rwanda is a safe country. It's the report of the US State Department on Rwanda. Perhaps they'd like a read. Here's a highlight. Sleep tight.

NEW 🚨|: BT's technology chief, Harmeen Mehta, has compared workers to horses.

“I don‘t know how horses felt when the car was invented, but they didn’t complain that they were put out of a job; they didn’t go on strike."

We’ve issued a High ozone #AirPollution forecast for Tuesday 🔴

Ozone builds through the day and peaks between 4-6pm📈

So if you are going for a run 🏃‍♂️
Or have a health condition 🫁
Best to go out in the morning when levels are lowest before they start to build 🕟

The UK no longer follows the EU cutting the safe level of BPA (bisphenol A - linked to various health concerns) in food packaging. The safe level of BPA in plastic containers in the UK is now 20 000 TIMES HIGHER than in Europe @BBCPanorama

Air pollution is damaging people at every stage of their lives from before we're born right through to old age, according to a landmark study out this morning from Imperial College London.

The devastating consequences are in their own words 'hiding in plain sight.'

Last night, 292 Conservative MPs voted to allow sewage dumping by water companies in our rivers and coasts for at least 15 more years.

Can you spot your MP on the list?

Near three times as many Tory seats than Labour have received levelling up money- 52 to 20 - yet supposed to focus on social deprivation! Something is definitely ‘off’

Please read; the most important piece I've written. Mass poisoning has suddenly killed off most sea life for 30 miles by the Tees. The govt claims it's natural; ind scientists warn it's manmade. The govt is desperate not to inquire too deeply as its freeport policy is at stake.
