Unite gives important Labour policy document 'thumbs down'
Britain's leading trade union today refused to give its backing to an important Labour document for government at the National Policy Forum gathering in Nottingham. 1/5
What is emerging from @UKLabour is a pattern of behaviour to literally take out any MP or mayor who backs key manifesto demands on the re-nationalisation of #energy, action on rampant #profiteering and investment in UK steel. 🧵1/3 @bbclaurak

"The Tories are determined to force pay down. This explains their active role in preventing settlements in sectors like rail, when in private-sector workplaces less subject to ministerial interference big pay awards are being won by unions such as Unite".

.@unitetheunion#LutonAirport ground handlers secure pay deal worth over 19%.
This is a great deal and a testament to the hard work of Unite’s GH London Ground Handling reps and the solidarity of our members. https://t.co/bYFkIzTfr7
A poll by @MartinSLewis today shows clear 2 to 1 support, out of 137,483 votes, for workers taking strike action against the cost-of-living crisis.
We support them as well.

Postal and telecom workers are in the fight of their lives, for their very livelihoods - against exploitative employers who prioritise profit over all else.
Please donate if you can.
The CWU strike fund is open. Donate as much or as little as you can to help support 160,000 postal and telecom workers.

"Royal Mail bosses are prepared to smash a venerable, much-loved and heavily relied on national service in the cause of breaking a trade union and enriching a few speculators".

[opposite Waller Avenue]
Luton
Bedfordshire
LU4 8DS
Please show your support.
Solidarity with local @RoyalMail staff on strike today, and next week.
There will be pickets at the Royal Mail Delivery Office, 9-11 Dunstable Road, LU1 1AA.
@CWUnews will be able to confirm times for next week - please stop by if you're passing the depot.
.@UKLabour was built by workers, for workers. We're appalled by Labour leadership's lack of support for striking workers & sacking shadow ministers who stand on picket lines
They need to remember who they represent & show solidarity for those fighting for a more equal society
BREAKING 🚨⚡️| We are now calling for public ownership of energy companies.
The energy cap is expected to increase to £3,200, up over 150% in just a year.
Public ownership would:
✅ Reduce bills
✅ Speed up energy efficiency improvements to homes
✅ Cut carbon emissions faster
Solidarity with all our members on strike today across the country ✊
