It is with great sadness, we share the news of the passing of our fellow comrade, Steve Davison.
Read the full statement from Karen Reay, Regional Secretary for Unite the Union, North east, Yorkshire & Humber.
✊ After over a decade of pay freezes and below inflation increases, local government craftworkers are being told to accept another pay rise that doesn’t keep up with rising costs, and attacks to conditions like removing apprentices from the union agreement. No wonder they are on strike again today.

🚨 Strike Action: Leeds City Council
Members in #Leeds joined the 1,000+ local govt. workers out on strike today
National officer Jason P: The local govt. employers have brought this on themselves in the high handed & dismissive way they have treated proposed peace talks.
This is a huge victory. UK car workers have been increasingly fearful for their jobs.
@GOVUK at the highest level has listened to the concerns of Unite and is now set to act decisively to protect the jobs of UK automotive workers. 1/2

Reform-led Durham council cut off funding to the annual Pride celebrations.
So trade unions launched a fundraiser to save it, eventually raising more money than was cut.
Which means this year's Pride will be bigger than ever.
In the 1980s, the LGBT+ community raised thousands of pounds to help striking miners and their families.
When we stick up for each other, we can achieve anything.
The weather forecast looks fab, so grab your ticket online now and save ££s with fast-track wristbands!
