If you find any of my work on employment issues for workers and trade union issues helpful, then any donations are gratefully received. But, whether you can or support or not (I know many cannot), thanks for reading - hope some of it's useful. https://t.co/orJW7Mge2E

TSSA staff will strike on 15 days in June and July. Come to our briefing 6pm Saturday at the Marriott Hotel to hear the TRUTH about our dispute from our representatives.

[Dave Smith @DaveBlacklist]

Firefighting is a carcinogenic occupation. The science knows it, the UN knows it - it’s about time the politicians & fire chiefs responsible for UKFRS took action to protect their workforce from occupational cancers.

They want to save money.
We want to save lives.

@PeterStefanovi2 Well, there will but they'll just be sitting on a different bench.

And another reason for HMRC members to vote yes for decent pay in our national strike ballot which runs until 13 May. #VoteYes

Civil service pay is at such a level that one third of staff in one key public facing role have received a rise simply because Minimum Wage legislation requires this. @pcs_union

“Fair pay now!” for PCS members in The Pension Regulator.
PCS has made very reasonable suggestions for how the dispute could be ended but TPR are burying their heads in the sand

I see GMB are doing here what GMB often do, sublimating pre-existing organisation under 'employer granted' recognition. So much for principled trade unionism. It is a Boots v PDA lite strategy.

[alex marshall @alexjkmarshall]

On Friday, just days before the strikes, Deliveroo contacted the organisers delegitimising their demands. They claim to offer “attractive earnings” & that pay has in fact increased. Last week’s huge strike clearly points to the opposite. Actions speak louder than words!

It's great that @pcs_union is challenging the Minimum Service legislation by way of Judicial Review, and especially pleased this is one of Mark Serwotka's last acts.

PCS have been very good recently on public law challenges but I do wish they would publish the grounds as well.
