For generations, the ceramics industry has provided skilled jobs and supported working class communities across Stoke-on-Trent.
It's now under threat from rocketing energy costs and unfair competition with cheap imports.
We need action on energy bills to save the Potteries.
Amazon called the cops on CAUSE, and to no one's surprise, the cops listened to them, not the workers. Three people were arrested for handing out free snacks and groceries to workers while getting union authorization cards signed. Union busting is disgusting!
⏰The Teamsters have given Amazon until 12/15 to come to the table, or else.
✊We are going to hold Amazon accountable for our low wages and dangerous working conditions.

A fantastic outcome only possible because of the strength and solidarity of GMB members fighting for pay justice across Birmingham. I’m proud to be able to support our members and activists that have lead this campaign.
As the largest union in the water industry, GMB was proud to join Sunday’s #MarchForCleanWater. 🌊
We need investment in our water infrastructure and the workforce to clean up our rivers and seas.
Go Cliff!! Excellent speech raising the voice of #gmbunion members working in the UK water sector. The workers aren’t to blame for the state of UK waterways. Too many times workers are abused or assaulted by members of the public for this issue! Blame the bosses, not the workers.
Cliff Roney from @GMB_union speaking at #MarchForCleanWater 🌊
"I'm here to today to talk about the disgusting state of our rivers, lakes, chalk streams and beaches"
"Sorry if some of you have had your lunch but I'm going to be talking about poo"
"35 years ago Margaret Thatcher said water privatisation would lead to massive infrastructure investment, better customer service and better value"
"35 years we now have polluted beaches, polluted rivers, polluted lakes, and we are absolutely inundated with poo"
"The water companies are no longer financially sustainable or environmentally sustainable"
"The workers want to do the best they can.. Keep it running,, Keep it clean"
"Since 1989 around £57 billion has been paid out in bonuses and share dividends"
"It is not estimated that £60 billion is needed to upgrade the water infrastructure to get it back to where it was"
"Fat cats have taken the money that should have prevented the environmental disaster that we are now facing"
"The solution is better regulation, accountability, and renationalisation of these companies"
"We share a responsibility for future generations to stop pumping sewage into our rivers and lakes. We must stop this now"
"I get great pleasure taking my grandsons to the beach to build sand castles.. Recently I found myself reading a quality board saying some areas were not safe"
"What do we want? Sand castles, not poo castles"
"I look forward to the day we don't have to swim in poo"
“There’s a light that never goes out.” ✊

De-industrialisation breaks communities, now we need plans for development at the site.

The Government’s move to back carbon capture tech is a big step in the right direction.
It shows what levelling up can really mean: good, well paid jobs in working class communities 🏭
It shows the country now has a serious industrial strategy - to rebuild after 14 wasted years
Hey Jeff Bezos 🗣️ We’re coming for what’s ours.

After Monumental Victory at NLRB, Amazon Workers Continue to Take Power Into Their Own Hands and Demand Change at Amazon.
Amazon drivers at DIL7 in Skokie, Illinois united across our delivery station today to demand a union contract from Amazon!
HUGE NEWS FOR AMAZON DRIVERS! The National Labor Relations Board decided that we are Amazon employees. What does this mean? Amazon HAS to recognize our union and negotiate a fair contract.
The time to get involved is now! https://t.co/5WVxKQ94iW
