We know that pay levels and pay increases in the civil service are increasingly lagging behind the private sector.

The Chancellor should agree to our repeated call for a pay review body which would ensure that decisions on pay are truly about fairness: https://t.co/9hTM6m0j81

Speaking to @CommonsEAC, Prospect's @FernsSue says that training and lifelong learning is key, as this would allow people to reskill throughout their working lives. Government and employers should work together on this to make sure it's accessible to those in need #EACgreenjobs

[Mike Clancy @mikeclancy1]

Positive move that this 'review' has now been dropped.

It's time for government to work with unions to improve rights ahead of the Employment Bill.

We needs rights fit for the future of work.

[Prospect Young Workers @Prospect_YW]

Everyone at work should have the right to dignity and to be treated with respect, as well as feel safe in their work environment. Equality is not an optional extra when it comes to our work as a union. It is part of our DNA. #TransAwarenessWeek
