Workers are standing up to union busting – and they're not standing alone. ✊

Manchester City Council has warned it could withdraw its provisional booking for the Best of Manchester Awards at the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel unless this dispute is resolved.

In a letter to management, the council expressed support for Unite members and urged InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) to stop refusing workers their right to union recognition. It also warned that future and existing bookings could be reviewed if the company continues down this path.

Our members have been clear from day one: they want the right to be represented by their union at work.

Met Police gave £2.5m to the undercover cop who abused me psychologically & sexually exploited me for two years.
They did this to protect him from embarrassment & to prevent exposure of secret political policing in the UK.

💰“There has never been a better time to be a billionaire” says @Forbes
There are now 3,428 billionaires in the world, up 400 on 2025.
Instead of being taxed the super-rich are spanking this wealth on super yachts. There are 210,000 of them bobbing about the seas, costing between $500,000 and a billion. The running cost of one mega gin palace could fully fund the employment of 300 NHS nurses!

During Covid, bus workers went out to work every day, while their bosses were safe at home. They were told that they were key workers, they should be treated as such now. That is why Unite is leading the fight, in Sergei’s memory, to deliver legislation changes. ⤵️

HIDDEN CAMERA UNCOVERS A CULTURE OF CRUELTY

A nurse tried to stop a nightmare. His own regulator sent him two auto-replies instead.

Terry Bryan started work at Winterbourne View care home near Bristol in August 2010. Management called it an "assertive" service.

What he found was staff teasing, threatening and ignoring people with severe learning disabilities like they weren't even in the room. He refused to help pin one patient down. Staff called him a "do-gooder" after that and kept their distance.

So he did what you'd expect. He told the manager. Nothing happened. He told the manager above that manager. She booked a meeting for a day he couldn't make, then never rebooked it. He was told the safeguarding team already knew. They never contacted him once.

Next he went through his union to the people whose actual job this is, the @CareQualityComm. He filled in their online form himself. He wrote the words "I have seen abuse at Winterbourne View." Over the next two months he got two automated emails back. No visit. No call. No investigation. Just a reference number and silence.

At that point Bryan gave up on the system and rang the @BBC.

On 31 May 2011, Panorama @BBCPanorama broadcast "Undercover Care: The Abuse Exposed." A hidden camera showed staff pinning residents to the floor, slapping them, soaking them in cold water fully clothed, pouring mouthwash into their eyes, trapping them under chairs while everyone laughed.

One worker asked a terrified patient if he wanted his face grated off with a cheese grater. Another patient had once tried to climb out of a second floor window. Staff joked about it for months afterwards.

When someone finally asked the CQC why they sat on eight months of written warnings, their answer was that it had been a "misjudgement." One word for ignoring disabled adults getting tortured on their watch.

Eleven staff eventually admitted 38 charges of neglect and abuse in court. Six went to prison. The ringleader got two years. Two more got 20 months each.

The rest walked out with suspended sentences, which means no jail time at all. The judge called it a "culture of cruelty." Even that feels generous.

The home was shut down. The company running it apologised. All 11 were banned from ever working with vulnerable people again.

None of this comes out without one nurse who wouldn't let it go, and a TV crew willing to do what the regulator was paid to do and didn't.

You'll see this exact shape again and again in this series. Someone raises the alarm the right way. The organisation built to respond does as little as it can get away with. It takes a hidden camera to make them move.

For 15 years local authorities have faced brutal austerity cuts, with frontline workers and services facing the brunt. This must stop.

Austerity is a political choice and it has failed.

Unite calls on the @GOVUK to fund local government fairly! https://t.co/TLiymN0M95

🏦 Francis provides security for a major international bank. Like many security officers, this means long hours - 60 a week plus travel time. If he could change one thing about the industry, it would be the hours ⌛
📈 Since joining Unite, Francis and his colleagues have increased their pay by a third and found a new respect.
Today is International Security Officers' Day and we are sharing Francis's voice and celebrating the job security officers do. Pls share ♻️
