We have zero interest in giving away the exact size of our membership, but we can say that it has doubled in the past year and covers workplaces across the country.

In other words, whenever a boss mistreats a legal worker, we will almost certainly be right there to fight back.

It's today, today, today!

🚨 HELP TO SAVE ASIRT 🚨

ASIRT, a charity offering free asylum advice, is being threatened with closure - despite its healthy financial position.

The trustees have rejected the union’s attempts at negotiation and the workers need your help - please sign the google form now.

LSWU needs YOU.

Nominations for next year's exec committee are now open. Details are in your email inbox and the closing date is 14 November.

You don't need any prior experience to apply; just a desire to help your fellow workers to organise for a fairer legal sector.

Don’t listen to those who speak of fatcat lawyers, don’t concede ground when they try to play criminal barristers off against the clients they work so hard to represent. Stay together and keep fighting and we will win.

[Adam Fleming @adamfleming]

Hear from a barista-turned-barrister on the strike on the latest #BBCNewscast. (And farewell to broadcasting power couple @scott_mills and @Chris_Stark) https://t.co/kdLFbi0zKB

[Employment Writes @employmentwrite]

Retweeting again. @LSWUnited do great work. Will be getting an application in myself.

[Legal Sector Workers United (UVW) @LSWUnited]

Hi @Keir_Starmer, as a former barrister who likes to talk about being a former barrister, presumably you’ll be joining us on the next picket line to demand proper pay?
