🆕UNISON's Sara Gorton comments on the gov's invite for formal pay talks: "Health unions will need to clarify the basis upon which talks can get underway through the NHS staff council. This includes understanding the status of the unilateral talks that have taken place with RCN.”
Well done @fbunational to get this gov around a table to negotiate is remarkable 👏 gives hope for the rest of the public sector #UnitedWeWin#solidarity#unison #❤️unions
Last night we moved our employers again and got a new pay offer.
This only happened because firefighters across the UK have stood united.✊
We are a democracy, and our members will now decide on it. We will have an honest, sober discussion as a union. @MattWrack on @SkyNews
The right to strike is a fundamental human right. Today, my wife, @HazelKirwin spoke to over 3,000 people in Newcastle on behalf of @unitetheunion calling out this Tory Government and their disgusting attacks on ordinary working people. #RightToStrike#ProudHusband
✊ Solidarity to all taking strike action across our region today including the members of the @NEUYorksHumber & @PCS_Union unions
📢 We will join you this dinner time at the rallies in Halifax, Hull, Leeds, Sheffield & York – https://t.co/gtmFJOv0Q3
Thousands of @EnvAgency workers will go on strike again next wk.
River inspections, flood forecasting, coastal risk management and pollution control - all essential public services the government is risking by refusing to open pay talks.

As @unisontheunion have said, this govt have forced nurses from the frontline to the breadline. Nurses using food banks- how is that ok? But, nurses are fighting for so much more than pay, they’re fighting for the NHS and for the conditions to care for their patients. #Solidarity
UNISON members like Jayne from the North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) @NorthernUNISON are striking today because they believe in the NHS and they want to protect it.
We do too.
Which is why it is important to #PutNHSPayRight
They’re striking for a better pay deal in a cost of living crisis, but that deal will help retain valuable, highly qualified ambulance staff and ease the horrendous pressure. This is about patients and care. I’m proud to support ambulance staff on strike with @NorthernUNISON
Michelle Mone… Today
While nurses strike for the first time in their history
@DailyMirror reports Mone and her husband flew in the private jet bought after PPE Medpro contracts, to the Alps for a holiday to stay in £6,000 a night hotel
Words fail me. You?
