RISHI SUNAK HAS CALLED A GENERAL ELECTION FOR 4 JULY.

It's the end of the Tories (and I feel fine).

BT CEO Philip Jansen got 32% pay rise this year taking his package to £3.5m

BT and Openreach workers are using foodbanks and some can’t afford fuel to get to work

Jansen is refusing to negotiate despite our huge ballot result

RT if you will back the workers when they strike

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

5 years ago, a horrific fire took the lives of 72 people, including Unite members and their families. Shamefully, nobody has ever been held to account.

Today, we stand in solidarity with the #Grenfell community in the fight for justice.

@TPearson65 Great result tony. All the best In Your new role.

[Unite CEC Branch @UniteCECbranch]

Back again @COSLA to protest the #coslalivingcrisis and draw attention to the paltry 2% pay offer for local government workers that got us through the pandemic #publicsectorpay #fairpayforcouncilworkers

@TPearson65 Good luck Tony

@UniteCECbranch @unisonedin @EdinburghEIS @AnotherEdinburg Glad to see a strong unite presence and excellent delegations putting the case for more funding and focus on retaining and building quality jobs and services and utilising initiatives such as retrofitting to generate local employment and skills.

[Unite the union: join a union @unitetheunion]

Top Tories, including the Prime Minister @BorisJohnson and @Jacob_Rees_Mogg, have criticised fire and rehire.

So why threaten to block @BarryGardiner's Bill to #StopFireandRehire today?

[Unite CEC Branch @UniteCECbranch]

Very important motion for #Edinburgh just passed at #UPC2021 to bring residential care for older people back in public ownership. Thanks to Scotland's Retired Members for submitting and moving this motion #saveourcarehomes

[Mary Alexander @MaryAlexander_]

@ScottishTUC @DaveSTUC @BBCRadioScot Well said Dave

[Mary Alexander @MaryAlexander_]

@UniteScotland No public consultation; no union consultation. Big decisions made about care home closures and vulnerable residents. Treatment of our heroic care workers appalling.

[Mary Alexander @MaryAlexander_]

@UniteCECbranch @EdinburghHSCP Unite opposes this ill timed decision to close these care homes without union consultation and subjecting vulnerable residents to more change after a traumatic 15 months of pandemic and lockdown. We will fight these closures .

[Unite Scotland @UniteScotland]

Hard working #NAECI members (Engineering & Construction covered by the Blue Book) have been told that the industry want to impose a pay freeze.
We are calling on our members to push back & vote YES to taking industrial action.

Vote by 1st of March 🗳️

[Mary Alexander @MaryAlexander_]

@UniteScotland @ScottishTUC Very sorry to hear of helens passing. She was a stalwart of the movement and great to work with. Congress won’t be the same without her.

[STUC @ScottishTUC]

Many trade unionists in Scotland will know Helen as a long-standing key member of our @ScottishTUC team, who gave tremendous support to our Women’s Committee in particular over many years.

Our thoughts are with her family and friends.

(2/2)

@PandKLabour @scottishlabour Very sad to hear of Ian’s passing

The pandemic has evidenced how important fair work principles are to social care and central to a national social care system.

[Fair Work Convention @FairWorkScot]

Today @FairWorkScot met with @AndyK_Piper and @derekfeeleyQI. We agreed there has never been a better time to make lasting change in the Social Care sector. #FairWork needs to be at the heart of a National Social Care System 👉https://t.co/KMZijQtnoQ
