We're running our #GetMeHomeSafely campaign to ensure that workers in sectors where there is night time working can get home safely.

Thanks to @hannahblythyn for agreeing to contact Unite to discuss what the Welsh Government can do to support our campaign.

Our hearts go out to the family and workmates of our member who lost his life yesterday protecting his beautiful daughter. Lee and Sophie were coming home from a walk when this senseless act took their lives. Just a dad and his little girl spending time together.

Sunday will see the latest undermining of #Furlough with another 10% cut to the govt’s contributions! @RishiSunak, with 2m still on furlough in the hardest hit sectors; halt the cut, extend the scheme and work with us to develop a legacy scheme to support short-time working! 🔽

Last week our engineering members at @RollsRoyceUK in Barnoldswick began a week of strike action after fears for the long term future of the site resurfaced. Unite is now balloting the remaining workers in the factory for strike action which could begin late this summer.
