This week at #STUC22 - Unite delegates brought #JobsPayConditions to the heart of the Trade Union movement.
@MaryAlexander_ gives the Unite recap incl:
⚕️The National Care Service
🚖'Get Me Home Safely'
💰Fair Work & Local Government Pay
💪🏽Indian Farmers & big collective action
Mandatory overtime, intense surveillance, break-neck production targets... @Amazon workers deserve a new deal and a voice at work. Sign our petition https://t.co/xXm1dV92Jh & RT
LISTEN 📣 📣 Action on Amazon were on @RadioClydeNews yesterday and we discussed the reasons why we launched our campaign.
If you or anyone you know works or has worked for Amazon, tell us about your experience by calling our hotline on 08000 14 14 61. #AmazonUnions
@ActionOn_Amazon Unite launch whistle-blowing hotline for Amazon's Scottish workers to report abuse claims https://t.co/6XEIkasCL5
We've all seen the stories about workers having to pee in bottles. Imagine the stories we haven't heard yet? Call our hotline - 08000 14 14 61 61
It's been a busy day for Action on Amazon in Scotland but this is only the beginning. Again, our message to @Amazonuk and @JeffBezos is to sign a neutrality agreement with us and allow workers their lawful right of speaking with a union. We aren't going anywhere. Come ahead.
‘We stand with #Amazon workers across the world. The only way to ensure we defeat bad practices championed by Amazon is to build strong union organisation’: Unite executive officer Sharon Graham #BAmazonUnion#UnionYes
Can you hear us the Senedd? It’s time for a new deal for Amazon workers. Tell @amazon to stop the union-busting & allow workers a real voice, or lose lucrative public contracts #actiononamazon RT
We’ve shone a light on Holyrood to highlight the working conditions of workers in Amazon. It is not illegal to speak to trade unions in the UK. We need a new deal for Amazon workers! #actiononamazon RT
As I said on @BBCRadioScot tonight totally behind @UsdawUnion and @GMBScotOrg campaigns for shop workers to get Boxing and New Year’s Day off. Workers in our supermarkets have looked after us this year - it’s time we looked after them. So come on @scotgov let’s make NYD happen!
"We want to build strong Union organisation throughout the economy, initially in the Top 10 Employers in every sector. We will also be looking at key non-Union areas by sector, in order to protect our members existing T's & C's from ‘undercutting’ in all its forms." #Organise
"Through the successful introduction of Unite Leverage and more recently Crisis Leverage, we have shown that it is possible for trade unions to mount serious campaigns that get results. Prior to the pandemic our record was 12 wins in 12 leverage campaigns." Sharon Graham.
The stories shared by Unite Taxi Drivers in the run up to what is traditionally their busiest time of year are heartbreaking.
We need to support access to NHS Mental Health services, as well as financial support for drivers like those in Wales & N.I.

As part of Work Voice Pay, Unite has produced essential tools to help reps to bargain through the pandemic. Our essential COVID-19 Checklist is available to download at https://t.co/QTskEaI15w
“Through Work Voice Pay, Unite is providing wrap-around support for reps – innovative tools to help with the job and, when rogue employers attack our reps, leverage to fight back. We've successfully got reps back to work & regained recognition in multiple sectors.” Sharon Graham
''Work, Voice & Pay will continue to have its finger on the pulse of the needs of our stewards as we navigate our way through the pandemic and beyond,'' Sharon Graham in Work Voice Pay monthly. See here ➡️ https://t.co/R1uhSBDZI6
Our members in the care sector have told us how they’d like to be rewarded, not token gestures but real change;
National & Sectoral Bargaining
A National Care service
A new Care Commission
