As @unitetheunion members prepare for their first strike in 40 years, new analysis by @welshecon Professor Calvin Jones & @BBCWales show that the actions of @TataSteelLtd & @TataSteelUK will rip £200m from the local economies of #PortTalbot and #Llanwern.

[Reinstate the Murphy 4 @themurphy4_]

We've taken our campaign international this week where we'll hold a series of protests and demonstrations throughout France at the headquarters, offices and sites of @Bouygues_C due to the union-busting activities of its strategic business partner @jmurphyandsons!

[Reinstate the Murphy 4 @themurphy4_]

We're outside @Bouygues_C in Paris to call on them to hold the Murphy Group to account for union-busting. @GroupeBouygues has an important strategic partnership with @jmurphyandsons, but they have refused to say anything about Murphy’s conduct. #reinstatethemurphy4

[Reinstate the Murphy 4 @themurphy4_]

Yesterday we visited @Bouygues_C offices in Paris where workplace reps from @GroupeBouygues acknowledged our demonstrations, confirmed they were aware of situation and a call was made to @jmurphyandsons ✊

[Reinstate the Murphy 4 @themurphy4_]

We're here in France to make @Bouygues_C listen and to see the evidence on @jmurphyandsons union-busting behaviour.

Bouygues must use its influence over the Murphy Group to tell them to reinstate the Murphy Four ✊

It doesn't matter if you're a bus worker, finance worker or a dock worker, Industry 4.0 means change is coming. Unless we are more organised and more coordinated than the employers, it will be the shareholders who pocket the gains from #automation not us. #JobsPayConditions

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

Twin protests planned in #Belfast against union-busting by construction company Murphy International Ltd.

@jmurphyandsons flagrant union busting and behaviour is deplorable. No reputable company or govt department should have anything to do with Murphy’s. https://t.co/5bkWI03ztD

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

.@unitetheunion always prioritises the #JobsPayConditions of its members and will support those at @BhamCityCouncil to ensure they are not mistreated due to council and government failings https://t.co/coPiWSx8Wy

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

If there was ever a time to invest money into a service like this to help some of the city’s most vulnerable people it is now. @unitetheunion will back our members who are providing transformative and life-changing work all the way. #JobsPayConditions

📢Unite win
Over 1,800 workers secure an 18% pay increase at Abellio in London. This is an important pay victory. Workers have stood firm and with the support of their union, Unite, they have secured a richly deserved pay increase.

The idea that we would call off industrial action on current pay issues in order to discuss the government’s 2023/24 evidence to the Pay Review Body is frankly beyond a joke. Every day, it’s a different gimmick from this @GOVUK. #NHS #SavOurNHS More 👉 https://t.co/w88AyW7c5t

In all my 25 years negotiating deals I have never seen such an abdication of leadership as that of the current posted-missing PM and the out of touch hapless health secretary. #NHS #AmbulanceStrikes

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

Felixstowe Docks have made £79 million in profit and given £42 million in dividends to shareholders yet offer our members a pay cut. Workers have my 100% support, we are going nowhere. We must protect your pay, Unite will be with our members at Felixstowe every step of the way!

[Sky News @SkyNews]

Almost 2,000 workers have walked out of their jobs at Felixstowe port.

@UniteSharon, General Secretary of @unitetheunion, says the company has a "clear ability to pay", but instead they are asking their workers to accept pay cuts.

Workers are in the midst of a #CostOfLivingCrisis and companies such as Centrica and Shell are reporting huge profits. As big business and the @GOVUK call for wage restraint, profiteering drives inflation through the roof. 1/2

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

Workers have already had a spring, summer, autumn and winter of discontent for years. It’s time to stop telling workers to pay the price for ­inflation and to demand an end to excessive profiteering. #CostOfLivingCrisis #SaturdayMorning https://t.co/SEmPBVewAB

Gatwick Cars’ conduct is shameful. In a #fireandrehire style attack, it is combining a zero-hours contract with a threat to sign or be sacked in under 48 hours. The owners of Gatwick must step in to prevent this exploitation taking hold at the airport.
