Almost five years ago, together we began to change our Union.
We took our Union ๐๐๐๐ค ๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ค๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐๐ - back to our reps and members.
We uncovered the truth around the wrongdoing and alleged fraud surrounding the Birmingham hotel and conference centre.
And we have redefined our relationship with Labour. ๐๐จ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ค ๐๐ก๐๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ฌ.
And together we have delivered hundreds of millions of pounds back into the pockets of members from successful disputes alone.
Profiteers exposed.
Cash to politicians cut.
Winter fuel campaign won.
Billions secured for steel.
Government contracts won for British aerospace.
๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐๐๐. ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ฌ ๐ค๐๐ฉ๐ญ.
We are only just beginning.

One of the go-to arguments against a wealth tax on the top 1% is the so-called โexodusโ of the super-rich.
But the evidence tells a different story. A 2024 review by the Tax Justice Network, co-published with Patriotic Millionaires UK and Tax Justice UK, found that the number of millionaires leaving countries is close to zero percent of their total millionaire populations.
A 1% wealth tax is easily affordable for the richest 1%. What isnโt sustainable is more cuts, stealth taxes on workers, more austerity, and more underfunding.

๐ชง Join @UniteSharon on Saturday. Let's stop the far right in its tracks โ
Unite members will gather at the stage on Park Lane, start of the march, at 12pm, where our general secretary will speak. After that, weโll form up at the Unite balloons - head to the gazebo to pick up flags and whistles and join the bloc.
And don't miss the DJs in Trafalgar Square ๐ง

The Employment Rights Bill was passed in December. It had already been watered down far too much, not least the failure to ban #FireAndRehire and #ZeroHours. Ministers must enact the ERBโs measures in their entirety without any further interruptions.
Hospitality doesnโt stop for Christmas, but neither do your rights ๐ช
Whether youโre on the bar, on the floor, or behind the scenes make sure you know rights at work - and if somethingโs not right, your union has your back - join and stay protected ๐ฃ
Hospitality rep Oliver explains breaks down 3 rights you need to know.

Hear from Danny, a bin worker standing up for his rights as he strikes against @BhamCityCouncil's decision to cut pay by up to ยฃ8,000 for dedicated workers like him.
This pay cut is simply unacceptable!
๐จ Stealth tax on workers means everyday people pay the price again
On theย fundamental issues of who pays for the crisis and the investment required to back British industry, the wrong decisions are being made. #Budget2026 1/4 โคต๏ธ

๐จ Aย new survey by Unite finds over half of bus routes have no toilets on them.
"These findings show a complete failure when it comes to providing decent toilet facilities for bus drivers.
"The right to a toilet at work is a basic human one and should be a given for all workers. Bus companies know what they should be doing but are ignoring the welfare of their drivers." @UniteSharon
๐ฝ On #WorldToiletDay, UK #busdrivers demand toilet dignity!
After reading the Eye's special report on how Tees Valley mayor Lord (Ben) Houchenโs flagship โlevelling upโ project became a taxpayer-funded scandal, a reader writes...

Blacklisting workers for union activities is despicable.
Those who do it are breaking the law and must be held to account.
Birminghamโs bin workers are well aware that there is something rotten at the top of the council. ๐ฝ๏ธโฌ๏ธ
Job and Talent agency workers in Birmingham are ready to fight for their rights ๐ฃ
Agency bin workers are joining the union every day. Why? Because they want an end to bullying and insecure contracts.
๐ฃ Can you hear us @JonesEngHQ?
โ Union rights for Jones Engineering workers!
๐ Compensate our reps
๐ Negotiate and agree the travel time payment
๐ Sign the facilities agreement
๐ชง Agree? Pls comment and share. Make sure they hear us!
The people of Humberside deserve better than this from a @UKLabour government. These workers have kept the country moving for generations. If @Ed_Miliband can't do what is needed to protect jobs at Lindsey Oil Refinery he should step aside for someone who will. โLabour's net zero plan is failing workers. It amounts to a jobless transition"
