The rapid expansion of green energy could drive youth employment & economic growth. Or it could be another race to the bottom. Support Unite's call for:
⚡Properly trained, competent electricians carrying out the work
⚡Investment in apprenticeships and upskilling
⚡Protection for electrical skills, jobs and safety standards
⚡A clean energy transition built on union labour and quality employment

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 For A Workers' Economy @UniteEconomy]

Huge numbers of council candidates are lining up to back Unite's deal with Birmingham council to end the bin strikes.

Candidates signing the pledge are committing to:

1. Stick to the “ballpark” deal
2. Not let the Commissioners block it

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

This move shows the power of workers and how that can be realised when they are backed by their union.

I salute the fortitude of my members who have needlessly been forced to endure months of attacks and hardship to get us to this point.

👊 UNITE WIN | Construction engineers: Pay increase by around £2,000

Unite is now seeking to open negotiations for 2027 pay with the employers’ side as soon as possible. Unite never rests in the fight to keep improving our members’ jobs, terms and conditions.

🪧 STRIKE

First Bus can fully afford to give these drivers, who do their same job as their counterparts down the road, the same wages but is choosing to prioritise greed. Members at First South Yorkshire continue to have @unitetheunion's full support.

[Unite For A Workers' Economy @UniteEconomy]

Instead of negotiating to end the #BrumBinStrike, Labour-run @BhamCityCouncil spent months handing over millions of £ of taxpayers money to @TomWhiteWaste - a company owned by Labour-run @coventrycc - to try and break the strike.

@UKLabour should remember what its meant to be for - sticking up for workers, not dodgy deals to undermine strikes.

[Dave Smith @DaveBlacklist]

Bravo @EmilyApple 👏👏👏

[Unite For A Workers' Economy @UniteEconomy]

Over a year into our strike, and we are still fighting! ✊

Brum residents are with us. Agency workers are with us. UK workers are with us. It’s time for Birmingham City Council to stand with bin workers too.

We won’t back down until we reach a fair deal. Let the Council know it’s time to resume negotiations and end the bin strike:

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

By standing together @unitetheunion members have made it clear that fair pay is their basic right. During the dispute Diligenta staff were prepared to reject pay offers that failed to address their concerns. These workers have shown incredible strength and unity. ⤵️

[Unite the union: join a union @unitetheunion]

For years local authorities have faced brutal austerity cuts, with frontline workers and services facing the brunt. This has to stop.
Local authority workers like Unite EC member Susan Matthews keep our services running
#FairFunding now 📣

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

Our members in Liverpool, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling & Reading have their union's complete support. Imposing real term pay cuts on workers while making £millions in profit is unacceptable and won't wash with @unitetheunion.

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

Planned strikes by 400 fuel tanker drivers employed by Certas have been called off after the workers voted to accept an improved offer.

@unitetheunion is totally focused on delivering better #JobsPayConditions for our members.

[Unite the union: join a union @unitetheunion]

💥 5% rise at GXO
💥 5% at First Cymru
💥 5.3% at First Aberdeen

🎄Well-earned pay rises for Unite members, just in time for Xmas
#JobsPayConditions

🪧 STRIKE

OCS & BA are highly profitable and can easily afford to pay the London living wage. Their employers are raking in huge profits whilst our members have been left struggling financially in one of the world's most expensive cities - disgraceful!

Alison admits “I fancied him. Of all the things I can accuse Mark Jenner of, I can’t accuse him of being predatory. Even if he was using me. His flat was grotty. Why wouldn’t he want to stay at mine? In Feb 96 he moved in. I told him I ❤️ him. Later he told me he ❤️ me”

👩‍🏭Employment Rights: Row back after row back.

💷Budget: Instead of taxing extreme wealth, we now have a stealth tax on workers.

@UKLabour should be fighting for workers and communities - everyday people do not think they are on their side.

[Dave Smith @DaveBlacklist]

#Spycops inquiry on ITV News.
Questioning of police whistleblower Peter Francis about spying on #union members defending labour movement events & #blacklisting of activists is likely to take place on Tues & Wed this week.
