🪧 For a year, workers at @VeoliaUK Sheffield have been on strike - not for more pay, but for the right to be represented by a union of their own choosing.
📝 Over 6,000 residents have signed a petition, sent complaints to the council and @SheffCouncil which pays Veolia millions refuses to act.
Fulwood residents expect better from @SheffCouncil.
They want the council concentrate on fixing local problems and stop shovelling out cash to @VeoliaUK - making millions while residents suffer & workers are denied the union voice they choose at work.
💪 At Unite, we’re ready to take a stand for our members at Jones Engineering!
🪧 That’s why we’re outside the @Bisnow Data Centres Conf, raising our voices and informing the delegates of Jones' union-busting tactics.
👉 Share and make @JonesEngHQ hear us!
🚨 BREAKING NEWS - UNITE WIN‼️🚨
Today a high court ruling has permitted Unite members at BAE factories in Lancashire to go ahead with industrial action as planned, following a last-gasp attempt by BAE to prevent lawful strike action on spurious grounds.
This morning I joined @LivvHousing striking workers in Knowsley on their picket line.
Livv Housing is extremely wealthy and can more than afford to put forward a fair pay offer. The pressure will not relent until that happens. #JobsPayConditions ⤵️
🚨 LIVV HOUSING
This isn’t about affordability for Livv’s bosses – it’s about union-busting. Well, it won’t work! The dispute will continue to escalate until Livv addresses the years of real terms pay cuts its workers have suffered. #JobsPayConditions

📢 Basta!
😡 7 months of union-busting at @VeoliaUK in Sheffield
😡7 months of denying workers their right to unionise
😡7 months of blocking & backtracking
📢 Enough!
@Veolia ! 🇧🇪 Barre tu desastre! 🇬🇧 Clean up your act!
Recognise Unite now.
@InvescoEMEA
👏 This is what trade unionism looks like. Standing together, working together, to demand better.
🫶 Let's show our support for @Veolia workers and take action together.
👉 Sign the petition today https://t.co/J85ZOxAGTX
Our members have waited a year for a fair pay deal and have been met with nothing but delay, excuses and an offer that fails to meet the cost-of-living pressures they face.
📢 Striking @LivvHousing workers march through Knowsley
Today's march shows the determination of our members at Livv Housing. They are an extremely wealthy company that can afford to table a fair pay offer. The pressure will not relent until that happens. @Unite_NorthWest
.@Veolia could end this dispute tomorrow with the stroke of a pen yet continues to undermine deals. They now need to respect the wishes of the workforce and sign a collective bargaining agreement with @unitetheunion in #Sheffield.

Striking @LivvHousing workers demonstrated remarkable strength and solidarity during their march through Knowsley ✊
After years of below-inflation pay increases, the message is loud and clear, they will not stop until they receive the fair pay rise they deserve.
Whether it's workers striking over their voices being denied at @Veolia, or @BhamCityCouncil bin workers fighting £8,000 pay cuts, or @British_Airways cleaners living on min wage whist working in one of the most expensive cities in the world -Unite has your back!
#FightBackFriday
✊ Trade unionists from France & the UK marched in Sheffield this week to tell @VeoliaUK to recognise Unite. Workers have been striking for 7 months. It is high time @Veolia & their CEO @E_Brachlianoff listened to the workers & the people of Sheffield, & France. RT & make them hear us! 📣 👂
