Nurse chased by 'masked men in racist attack' on way to work at Belfast Hospital.

Despite a harrowing ordeal, the nurse was determined to carry out her duties, says UNISON's Patricia McKeown, calling for 'decisive action' on threats to staff.

“You came to this country with a promise, we should fulfil that promise”

[Narinder Kaur @narindertweets]

This is possibly the saddest thing I've seen in a long time..an immigrant nurse talking about fleeing her home..she saved her UNIFORM. So she could still WORK for our communities.

I'd fill this country with a thousand of this woman than one of those good for nothing thugs.
God help this poor woman.

Unions rebuff Farage: Reform ‘cosplaying’ as workers’ champions

“It’s a con to think Nigel Farage & his cronies are interested in anything but cold, hard cash. They don’t believe in basic rights or fair pay & voted against every measure to improve them”

Trade unions including Unite, Unison, GMB, Community, TSSA, FBU and the TUC all rebuff invite from Farage to ally with Reform UK

Today, @AndreaEganGS has written to @EHRC Chair Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson challenging their statement, giving examples from our members where employers are withdrawing trans inclusive policies and using the code of practice guidance as the reason.

Reform UK isn’t the party of workers

❌ Voted against workers’ rights
❌ Would cut thousands of public sector jobs
❌ Scrap the Equality Act
❌ And weaken NHS & social care staffing

Their tax plans benefit the richest most—like their millionaire backers https://t.co/QQiwgm5xpR

📢✊ "Behind every visa is a care worker. Behind every care worker is a community that depends on them."

@AndreaEganGS is calling on members to join the Fair Visa rally on 10 June.

Opposing the EHRC guidance:
Over the next 30 days, UNISON is trying to convince as many MPs as possible to oppose the guidance on single sex spaces. The union wants examples of how the guidance is unworkable in your workplace.

🚨DR UK's Statement on the EHRC's New Code of Practice

"We are appalled at implications that an adequate workaround is trans people using Disabled toilets instead. We will not be used as a loophole in the wider erosion of trans rights."

A Plan 2 grad who got a good job paying £36,000 and whose earnings followed a typical trajectory will £87,000 in real terms.

How did 'it's fair for students to make a contribution to the cost of their degree' morph into 'let's gouge them for far more than they ever borrowed?'

📢 ‘Women are more than our appearance’.

Delegates at UNISON’s women’s conference condemned the damaging effects of the EHRC interim guidance, emphasising the need for inclusive workplaces and services that respect all women.

The proposals to change settlement rules would pull the rug from under migrant workers, including in social care who provide dignity and comfort to our loved ones.

The Government must uphold its promises.

Thank you @NeilforPoole for delivering this letter to @ukhomeoffice

BREAKING: WIN 🏳️‍⚧️ 💥

The High Court just refused Sex Matters' permission to ban trans women from the Hampstead ponds. We're relieved that the ponds can remain a place where trans people have always belonged.

Thank you to the all the people that pushed back against division.
