Supreme Court rules that employers cant punish workers for taking part in industrial action - the Mercer judgment is out!

Excellent video from @Tony_Robinson 👇🏼
The issues he mentions are true across every city, town and village in the UK - it’s such a sad & damning verdict on 14 years of Tory government
We all so desperately need a change of direction - and some decent people running the country

Another fantastic result for our employment team - successful trade union detriment claim brought on behalf of 21 civil enforcement officers

[GMB Southern Region @GMBSouthern]

GMB Southern Region have had a victory at Employment Tribunal, as Wilts Council were judged to have broken industrial relations law through an email sent by their Chief Executive on the eve on an industrial action ballot.

Devastating figures for families ahead of tomorrow’s Tory budget.

The choice is clear:

Low growth and higher debt with Rishi or better jobs, new homes and investment in our schools and hospitals with ⁦@RachelReevesMP⁩

Absolutely right - this is another attack on workers rights

[Jamie Hanley🇺🇦 @jamiehanley]

Brill interview with @ShabanaMahmood on #PoliticalThinking : how faith, legal training, & family life all shape her as @UKLabour Shad Justice Secretary.
If only we had such a confident, capable lawyer as U.K. Justice Secretary #AnotherReasonToVoteLabour https://t.co/SA6B8eAfJm

[Jamie Hanley🇺🇦 @jamiehanley]

Busy day and only just catching up on the news - what a crass and disgraceful man the Prime Minister is.

To then refuse to apologise to Brianna's mother following the Q from @LizTwistMP beggars belief.

Demeans the office. Not fit to govern. Call the bloody election.

[Jamie Hanley🇺🇦 @jamiehanley]

This tour de force speech from @RachelReevesMP comprehensively undermines Tory Govt economic record & (lack of) plan.

Tories have

❌Crashed the economy
❌Held back growth
❌Increased debt
❌Made working people’s lives harder
❌Failed to change our country

“This tax on hope should end”

[Equity @EquityUK]

“Equity is a trade union, and ensuring fair access to good work for our membership is a core part of our role.

The costs of casting should no longer be borne by our members; we will do all we can to reduce and end subscriptions to casting directories.

This tax on hope should end.”

[Jamie Hanley🇺🇦 @jamiehanley]

Unanimous decision of SC is that Govt policy is unlawful & wld breach international & domestic law
As one of those lefty lawyers, I hate to say this, but I told you so…
More importantly, this judgement is a victory for humanity & decency
#Rwanda #SupremeCourt #ToryChaos

[The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom @UKSupremeCourt]

Judgment has been handed down this morning in the ‘Rwanda Appeals.’ UKSC 2023/0093, UKSC 2023/0094, UKSC 2023/0095, UKSC 2023/0096, UKSC 2023/0097, UKSC 2023/0105: https://t.co/T35WcqVI16

Some Sunday night maths homework @RishiSunak…

If you close 1189 #SureStart Centres and then open 75 how many kids lives have you impacted?

If you close 22,000 #NHS beds and then open 5,000 how many patients have suffered?

You have broken our country. People will not forget.

Incredibly moving and powerful speech by @GMB_union’s President @bplantgmb proposing our motion in support of #Ukraine at #TUC23

Stand with Ukraine, Stay with Ukraine, Solidarity with Ukraine 🇺🇦

[Jamie Hanley🇺🇦 @jamiehanley]

Delighted to hear from @AngelaRayner that it's a "cast-iron commitment" that @UKLabour will introduce an Employments Rights Bill "within the first 100 days of entering office".
Welcomed by the @GMB_union and all campaigning for better rights for working people

[Pattinson & Brewer's Employment Rights Team @PB_Employment]

See you there @jamiehanley - solidarity and fraternal greetings to all of the trade unions we are incredibly proud to work with, and on behalf of their members #TUC23

[Jamie Hanley🇺🇦 @jamiehanley]

Looking forward to my 20th #TUC, and my first as @GMB_union Legal Director - so much to fight for. We have the opportunity with a @UKLabour govt & energised union movement to dramatically improve the lives of millions of working people across the U.K.

[Jamie Hanley🇺🇦 @jamiehanley]

This is devastating news for #Wilko staff.

The @GMB_union will do everything we can to support our members.

Let’s be absolutely clear: Wilko bosses gambled workers jobs whilst paying out millions in dividends, and they must be held to account for this.

[GMB Union @GMB_union]

Wilko entering into administration is an avoidable disaster.

The bargain retail sector is strong - but bosses never capitalised on it.

12,000 jobs are now at risk because of mismanagement.
