A report published today has found US technology giant Palantir paid just £2m corporation tax in UK in 2024.

"The fact the UK and other countries are rewarding Palantir with massive government contracts is what beggars belief", says Andrea Egan.

Proud to be one of 10 unions signing this.

Revoking permission for US use of UK bases would have a significant impact on the US’s ability to further escalate a war that has been a catastrophic for the Middle East and an economic disaster worldwide.

Ambulance crews are working in temperatures of up to 46°C inside vehicle cabs, a paramedic tells BBC Radio 4 PM.

UNISON is calling for urgent action as extreme heat impacts staff and patients.

[UNISON - UK's largest union @unisontheunion]

Ambulance employers need heatwave plans to protect workers and patients.

UNISON has heard from crews working in sweltering ambulances, without air conditioning, water or toilet access, while waiting hours outside hospitals in 30C plus heat.

[UNISON - UK's largest union @unisontheunion]

Ambulance workers have sounded the alarm on the impact of heatwaves on staff and patients - with soaring demand, overheating vehicles, and poor access to water.

Now the health secretary says the NHS must plan for heatwaves as it does for winter pressures.

Andrea Egan joins striking Bedfordshire hospital operating theatre staff https://t.co/iWePH5iLle

[Andrea Egan UNISON General Secretary @AndreaEganGS]

Not only are firms like Palantir complicit in widespread human rights abuses, they also fail to pay their fair share while creaming profits from the public purse.

Let's bring our public services back in public hands. Everything back in house.

.@AndreaEganGS: "Tech giants raking off billions in profit can't be free to pay what they please. Ministers shouldn't award contracts to run public services to firms that are starving them of cash."

🤑 We pay. You pay. Palantir doesn’t.

A new report finds #Palantir pays little to no corporate tax in Europe while expanding across public services, policing, defence and national security.

Public money in. Almost no tax out.

Solidarity to the operating theatre staff striking over cuts to overtime pay in Bedfordshire today. It was inspiring to stand alongside you.

[UNISON - UK's largest union @unisontheunion]

Too hot to work? ☀️🌡️
Help us change the law.
Climate change is making heatwaves more frequent and severe.
Write to your MP and help us secure stronger protection at work.

Operating theatre staff striking over cuts to overtime pay were joined by @AndreaEganGS on the picket line in Bedfordshire today.

“They are absolutely committed to going into their operating theatres and saving lives. But their employer wants them to do their jobs for less pay.”

[UNISON Yorkshire & Humberside @unisonyh]

Earlier this week, theatre assistants in Leeds marched on the trust's board in their campaign for fair pay.

Mark's been explaining why we've reached this point ✊
