79% of Juniors in England have no confidence that the Health Secretary can deliver a resolution to the ongoing dispute.

We have therefore written to @RishiSunak to ask him to intervene and meet with us urgently to find a way through this. #DoctorsStrike

The comhairle is right - Scotland's economy, & the wellbeing of its island communities, depends on decent, safe, adequate transport. The new Transport Minister should be a Cabinet level appointment, with powers & support to make the changes Scotland needs.

Unions from across Europe have supported our campaign to protect the right to strike.

They have exposed 🇬🇧 govt laughable claims that sacking teachers & paramedics for striking is somehow the norm in Europe.

So great to be here at @etuc_ces #ETUC50 conference in Berlin ✊🏼
