Read the TUC's statement in full https://t.co/EYRhl1Ckyf

[Prospect Union @ProspectUnion]

We are shocked by the far right violence we have seen in last few days.

We strongly support @The_TUC's statement calling for an end to the violence and intimidation, and for all those who perpetrate these acts to be brought to justice.

At @WeAreTheMU we stand with the trans community and against the incessant peddling and fuelling of hate by the current Tory Government. https://t.co/op1xlvpXJ8

We know there's a lot of these surveys out there but it shows that we're aware of the issues facing freelancers and can work together to combat those issues. Please consider taking the time to fill in this one, particularly if you work on ACE projects! https://t.co/co4Wl1RC2o

[Bectu Theatre Freelancers @bectu_freelance]

Bectu is aware that many productions have workers who are formally engaged in video-related roles. However, they often also ask staff working in other roles to carry out video-related work. If this applies to you, member or not, fill out our survey! https://t.co/g0pblPwbqA

There are so many things that @Bectu is working hard to tackle across the creative industries, low pay, long hours, bullying and harassment, poor treatment of freelancers-we’re growing in membership, in influence & in reputation. Why not just recognise and celebrate this progress

The initiative will give refugee musicians full access to the MU’s services for free for a year @WeAreTheMU @CounterArts @RefugeeWeek

[Philippa Childs @philippachilds]

Concerning enough that protesters were being arrested yesterday but also arresting a filmmaker who was recording the protest and who was displaying a @bectu press card is incredibly worrying in a democracy

Disabled theatre network Ramps on the Moon (@RampsOTM) is launching a podcast about disability equality in theatre. https://t.co/3UMSEfuAMR

Driverless trains, even assuming they were an affordable or achievable option, would not change the fact that @RMTunion is an all-grades transport union.

Driverless trains would also still need a human in the cab.

That human would, most likely, be an @RMTunion member ✊
