Let's continue the change

🚨@unitesharon told workers that she would investigate allegations of corruption, and she did. Uncovering tens of millions of pounds of overspending and possible fraud.

For as long as I’m General Secretary, Unite will stay focused on what matters most to members – jobs, pay and conditions. Together, we’ve put our union back where it belongs: in the workplace, delivering £billions into the pockets of our members. Let's continue the change.

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

Together, 5 years ago we began to change our union and took it back to the workplace - back to our reps and members. We have delivered over £700m back into the pockets of our members from successful disputes alone. #IWillFightForYou ✊

Almost five years ago, together we began to change our Union.

We took our Union 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 - back to our reps and members.

We uncovered the truth around the wrongdoing and alleged fraud surrounding the Birmingham hotel and conference centre.

And we have redefined our relationship with Labour. 𝐍𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬.

And together we have delivered hundreds of millions of pounds back into the pockets of members from successful disputes alone.

Profiteers exposed.

Cash to politicians cut.

Winter fuel campaign won.

Billions secured for steel.

Government contracts won for British aerospace.

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞. 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐤𝐞𝐩𝐭.

We are only just beginning.

𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞-𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 𝐓𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫.

To continue to win. To deliver on 𝐉𝐨𝐛𝐬. 𝐏𝐚𝐲. 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.
Workers will always be my priority.

𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

Solidarity, Sharon ✊

UNITE WIN | Oxalis 👊

Grangemouth based tanker drivers working for Oxalis have secured a significant pay win after a long-running dispute.

Drivers stood firm for months by taking strike action to secure a better deal. #JobsPayConditions

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

Time to end the chaos in our energy network which allows profiteers to flourish while workers and communities are left in the cold.

Public, democratic control makes energy affordable while sustaining decent work. The question isn't 'can we afford to nationalise', it's 'how long can we afford not to!'

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

On the picket line this morning with health visitors in Wales, working for @CwmTafMorgannwg, who are fighting for pay.

We meet government next week.

Solidarity ✊

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

Workers and communities are still suffering from paying the price for crisis after crisis. We are now braced for more price rises in the coming months.

@GOVUK cannot keep crossing its fingers behind its back and urgently needs to change direction to ensure it backs everyday people.

Ukrainian soldiers still moving to the front lines. Don’t forget to wish them safety & victory 🙏

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

The fact is that @Village_Hotels are refusing to pay all its workers the real living wage. This is an incredibly wealthy business refusing to pay low paid workers what they deserve. That is shameful and unacceptable. #JobsPayConditions

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

With the latest in a string of constant row backs, #FireAndRehire, #ZeroHours contracts not being banned and now rights from day one, the Bill is unrecognisable.

These constant row backs will only damage workers’ confidence that the protections promised will be worth the wait.

[Unite the union: join a union @unitetheunion]

Why has @BhamCityCouncil spent millions trying to break a strike it could settle for a fraction of the money?
Its claims of exposure to equal pay liabilities have been shown by KC opinion to be baseless. And the council has failed to present any evidence to the contrary. Yet still it burns through council tax-payers' money at a rate of tens of thousands of pounds a day.
After nearly a year of strike action, bin workers and residents have had enough!
MPs and Councillors must act. Negotiate an end now!

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

There's been a catalogue of watering down on the Employment Rights Bill. These rights were already agreed and @UKLabour's own manifesto promised to implement the bill in full. #WorkersRights

[Unite the union: join a union @unitetheunion]

Zero hours was supposed to banned.
Fire and rehire was supposed to be banned.
Workers were supposed to have full rights from day one.
"The Employment Rights Bill is already unrecognisable. These constant row backs will only damage workers’ confidence that the protections promised will be worth the wait. Labour needs to keep its promises”
@UniteSharon

[Laura Pidcock @LauraPidcock]

This is woeful from the @The_TUC after today’s announcement on workers rights.

The dismantling of the employment rights bill didn’t start today with the removal of day-one protection from unfair dismissal. It started as soon as Corbyn was defeated and has been whittled away ever since.

[We Own It @We_OwnIt]

This government made the wrong decision about private finance at the Autumn Budget.

But that didn't stop us from securing wins.

Here's what you achieved in the campaign against PFI 2.0

The employment rights bill is a shell of its former self.

With #FireAndRehire and #ZeroHours contracts not being banned, the Bill is already unrecognisable.

These constant row backs will only damage workers’ confidence that the protections promised will be worth the wait. @UKLabour needs to keep its promises.

🏦 “Who pays? And whose side is Labour on?” These are the questions @UniteSharon asks on the eve of #Budget2026
