[Fire Brigades Union @fbunational]

The World Health Organisation classifies firefighting as a carcinogenic occupation.

In Canada and Australia, if a firefighter gets cancer, they are compensated, leaving them to fight the cancer, not fight for their family's security.

It's time the UK caught up.

[Unite UCU @UniteUCU]

Not only do we strike to demand @ucu stop its year-long campaign of trade union victimisation, but we also vote again to make clear we’re taking a stand.

The TU movement is united on one matter: don’t act unlawfully to one of your own.

Solidarity with @UniteUCU from Unite ITF.

We join you in calling on your trade union leadership to respect our fundamental principles as a movement.

Trade union victimisation is a red line.

[Unite UCU @UniteUCU]

Regrettably our members will be commencing strike action from 9 February over the victimisation of our Health and Safety Officer.

[Unite UCU @UniteUCU]

🚨 Third consecutive vote for industrial action 🚨

✅ strike action: 76%
✅ action short of a strike (ASOS): 80%
✅ turnout: 77%

ASOS begins today with @ucu threatening staff: "We'll deduct your wages."

Double standards and vindictive attacks undermine us all.

Union victory at Liverpool 👏

Industrial action has won a fairer deal on hybrid working at the University of Liverpool.

Solidarity does work ✊

I’m chuffed to bits to have been re-elected unopposed for a second term as BFAWU GS

Its a privilege to be the GS of this amazing union and to be able to do it for another 5 years is an absolute honour

Solidarity always ❤️✊️

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

This morning’s raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital has put this last major health facility in North #Gaza out of service. Initial reports indicate that some key departments were severely burnt and destroyed during the raid.

60 health workers and 25 patients in critical condition, including those on ventilators, reportedly remain in the hospital. The patients in moderate to severe condition were forced to evacuate to the destroyed and non-functional Indonesian Hospital. WHO is deeply concerned for their safety.

This raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital comes after escalating restrictions on access for WHO and partners, and repeated attacks on or near the facility since early October. Such hostilities and the raids are undoing all our efforts and support to keep the facility minimal functional.

The systematic dismantling of the health system in Gaza is a death sentence for tens of thousands of Palestinians in need of health care.

This horror must end and health care must be protected. Ceasefire!

[Marie Monaghan @MarieMonaghan10]

Its upsetting…

This is my workplace, my colleagues & friends. I’ve fought for safe workplaces for over 30 years.

I never thought I’d have to fight so hard for one here 😢

[Unite UCU @UniteUCU]

And this is one reason our members have just returned an overwhelming vote in support of strike action.

[Marie Monaghan @MarieMonaghan10]

@CerasellaChis @H_S_E @unibirmingham @BirminghamUCU Such great work, well done 👏

Freeports means businesses are outside the rules on employment, health and safety. The Labour gov are promoting them as job opportunities. Opening up another layer of indecent and dangerous work. Exploitative work with no regulation? @10DowningStreet
