Brilliant morning supporting @unisontheunion phlebotomists taking strike action for fair pay.

236 days and counting.

Time for their employer to reband these essential staff and settle their dispute fairly.

@letterappsoc How old is it? They stopped making them in 2012 so I don't think it'll be valid? Also it doesn't have a bar code for the stamp

[TUC South West @TUCSouthWest]

The incredible @UNISONSW phlebotomists are standing strong approaching their 250th (!!!) day on strike for fair banding. This is now the *LONGEST STRIKE IN NHS HISTORY*.

Stand with them:

NHS pay: staff prepared to take strike action, Unison warns. More than two thirds of members in England who took part in a consultation voted to reject the 3.6% pay award for 2025-26 and said they would back walkouts in a future ballot

Unions, bankers, millionaires, 75% percent of the public & many more support taxing wealth fairly

The Green Party has long supported fixing our unfair tax system

With the inequality gap growing ever wider, now is the time for Labour to listen to the people and tax wealth fairly

[Ismara M. Vargas Walter @IsmaraWalter]

It was truly an honour to address the @UNISONSW friends in Exeter. I explained why it is so important to keep the solidarity movement in the UK to #droptheblockade against #Cuba. I thanked all for the successful Cuba Vive medical appeal that will help so much in Cuba.

[UNISON South West @UNISONSW]

Phlebotomists at Gloucester and Cheltenham hospitals want to see their roles re-banded from band 2 to band 3.

A consultative ballot has seen a unanimous vote for action, UNISON will shortly ballot for industrial action 🗳️

[UNISON - UK's largest union @unisontheunion]

Many UNISON members will be working over Christmas and New Year keeping vital public services like hospitals, emergency services, care homes, utilities, transport and refuse collection running.

"UNISON truly appreciates the vital work you do."

Pride celebrations, a Tolpuddle takeover, and winning a national organising award for the second year running—what a fantastic year it’s been for our regional LGBT+ self-organised group 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

They’ve made UNISON’s year of LGBT+ workers a truly remarkable celebration. Looking ahead to 2025, the group is set to build on this legacy with even more organising, awareness-raising, and training planned ✊🏼

Our LGBT+ self organised group brought the rainbows to a cloudy Taunton Pride at the weekend 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

To call it 'vibrant' would be an understatement.

Lobbying is simply trying to persuade a politician or public figure to support a policy or campaign on a specific issue.

This article focuses on lobbying MPs, different methods of lobbying, and how to do it effectively and legally.

[Exeter Green Party @exetergreens]

#Exeter is rightly proud of it's diversity, tolerance and the welcome it gives to refugees.
But we won't tollerate or welcome Fascists, racists or Islamophobes. They have no place in our great city. Let's show the world who we really are...

[Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament @CNDuk]

At 8:15am on 6 August 1945, the US dropped the first of two nuclear bombs to be ever used on a population - killing at least 75,000 in the first few hours and tens of thousands more in months and years to come. We mourn the victims of Hiroshima say: #NeverAgain!

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

We have a lot to thank trade unions for...

We want to see the new Labour government restore the right to strike to public-sector workers as soon as possible.
