Will be observing a minute's silence at 12-30 to commemorate Crew Manager Alec Elwell, and to think of his family, friends, and workmates. Rest in peace, brother.

@FBUBeds Solidarity and condolences from Hereford & Worcester.

Sat at home in the dry and warm. I feel for our postal workers out there in all conditions (pissing down in Worc). Workers who recently voted to strike with 97% in favour on a turnout rate of 76%. Disgusted by the High Court ruling yesterday. @CWUnews #weriseagain #solidarity

[FBU Control @FBUCSNC]

Today our thoughts are with all those who lost family and loved ones at #Grenfell. We stand with all first responders especially @LondonFire and #ControlMembers who are still struggling to come to terms with the tragedy. 💚

Ex Tory minister Priti Patel: Conservatives no longer the party of meritocracy&have become very very lazy in the battle of ideas. Personally l think the Tories only aspiration is to give tax cuts to their mates, they are bankrupt of ideas not just lazy. Tories not fit for purpose

Remarkable result.

West Midlands #FBU members vote by 90% for strike action against imposed flexible contracts for new employees.

82% turnout.

Fantastic show of unity. Well done.

Time for employer to start negotiating properly.

A nurse I know is going back to work after a month off sick. She's being forced to use annual leave in her phased return. Can this be right @theRCN?

Find myself grateful anew for @fbunational when hearing about other public sector employee struggles.

Good evening from the night crew covering the final 12 hours at @HWFire HQ. Tomorrow we co-locate with @WMerciaPolice at Hindlip Campus @WestMerciaOCC. One thing we'll miss is the magnificent sunrises.

[HWFireControl @HWFireControl]

Six years through one window. We've experienced significant natural challenges in that time: flooding, wildfires and snow. Here's one from this winter.

[HWFireControl @HWFireControl]

One of the highlights of our HQ location was the chance to meet more staff from across the Service and hear about what they do. Marley was easily our favourite visitor - even though he failed to bring the customary chocolate biscuits!

[HWFireControl @HWFireControl]

No special #sunrise to speak of, but rather a #sunset: it's lights out in the Fire Control suite at @HWFire HQ.

[FBU Sec HWFire Ctrl @fbuhwfirectrl]

It's frustrating when you're the lone voice speaking up against management. Time for comrades to back each other up.
