A very close fought game for our U15s All Star Squad. They were unlucky not to take the win but put out a great performance once settled into the game. Thanks to @CambrianBgc for a great match #DRETAllStars
Ambulance workers could be the first facing the sack for taking strike action, under this Tory government’s new draconian laws.
They are leading the march to protect the #RightToStrike, just as GCHQ workers did 40 years ago under Thatcher’s government #CheltenhamDemo
London activists at Cheltenham this morning for the @The_TUC march and rally to protect workers' rights and the #RightToStrike ✊

We will win again.

We were proud to take part in @EPSUnions ‘On the road to a fair deal for workers’ rally today in Brussels. Thank you to our incredible young members and committee members that joined us for such an important call for no more austerity! ✊🏼💜
The law on flexible work is changing.
But how?
✔️ Right to request from DAY 1
✔️ Flexible working requests increase from 1 to 2 every 12 months, and
✔️ Employers must respond within 2 months instead of 3
✔️ Employers must consult employees before rejecting a request
✔️ Employee no longer has to explain what effect it would have on the organisation or how it will be dealt with.
And what will unions and employers need to do?
✅ Update policies
✅ Get familiar with the new Acas statutory code of practice
✅ Review job roles for possible flexible working options and include in job adverts
✅ Make sure flexible working is for everyone
✅ Conduct an equality impact assessment of your flexible working policy
✅ Track who has access to flexible working and their experiences of it.
The law won’t change until April 2024…
but employers need to be prepared.
Talking about mental health at work can be difficult, but it's essential for preventing stress.

6 million sick days were taken by NHS staff last year for mental health reasons.
At @unisontheunion's conference last week, I highlighted the mental health impact on our frontline workforce.
