Today @D_S_FBU #firefighters took their fight to Westminster to lobby against cuts to their fire and rescue service. Engaging and productive conversations with MPs about keeping #Devon and #Somerset residents safe

[FBURegion7 @FBUregion7]

The West Midlands Regional School has now concluded. This was 2 days of educational input for our reps and activists on a number of areas from Employment Law to tackling racism in the workplace. Knowledge is power!

[East Sussex FBU @eastsussexfbu]

Huge support to firefighters from East Sussex taking part in the 100 mile walk.
All for a great cause supporting one of our own, Firefighter Chris Mepham.
Strong effort and best wishes from East Sussex FBU 💪👍👊

It was fantastic to join the @fbunational at conference today and discuss the Tory government’s lack of adequate response to the Grendell Fire #GrenfellNeverAgain

[Barry Downey @BarryDowneyFBU]

After a lifetime of tackling real fires I'm determined to help fight the fires caused by Tory austerity, increased inequality, poverty, homelessness, drug and alcohol dependence, the mental health crisis and more. A socialist PFCC can do so much to help our most vulnerable.

[GMB Midlands @GMBMidlands]

We’d like to say a massive thank you to all our #TeamGMB activists, TU colleagues, community and @UKLabour activists for helping to make our protest at #Amazon  Rugeley such a success

Together, we will win the fight for #Amazon  workers! ✊️

Proud and honoured to receive the unanimous endorsement of @FBUStaffs committee for my PFCC Candidacy. @FBUregion7 @fbunational @UKLabour

[FBU West Midlands @WestMidlandsFBU]

Members of the West Midlands have taken part in a Grenfell silent walk in Worcester this evening.

2 years on, we remember the 72 lives lost that night, but the fight for change and justice continues.

[FBU West Midlands @WestMidlandsFBU]

We are appalled to learn of the unfair dismissal of our friend Dave Muritu on disproportional grounds by @sandwellcollege. Firefighters will be supporting Dave and the @ucu all the way on this. #ReinstateDaveMuritu

To help Dave, please sign this petition https://t.co/7YPoGFnZWc

[UNISON West Midlands @unisonwestmids]

It's official: #UNISON are nominating & endorsing @LabourPete in his bid for selection to be the @UKLabour
candidate for West Midlands metro mayor.

We're backing him b/cos he's a lifelong socialist & trade unionist. He's #OneOfUs & we're definitely on #TeamPete

#PeteForMayor

[FBU West Midlands @WestMidlandsFBU]

We’re delighted to announce that we are endorsing @LabourPete in his bid to be the Labour candidate for West Midlands metro mayor.

We’re convinced that Pete, a lifelong trade unionist, will stand up for our members and be the voice the West Mids desperately needs. #PeteForMayor

[Cllr Pete Lowe 🌹📈 @LabourPete]

So, so proud to have the support of @WestMidlandsFBU in my Mayoral campaign! If selected and elected we will not let you down! #SocialistSunday

[Fire Brigades Union @fbunational]

"This proposal was nothing more than a self-indulgent power grab that wasn’t in the interests of firefighters or the public."
