Representatives from the @unitetheunion private hire and taxi section came to speak to me about cross-border taxi licensing - something we're all too aware of in our area! I've raised this in Parliament before and will keep pushing on it.

📣 @unitetheunion SE Regional Officers rallied outside @BTGroup HQ today calling for urgent action to stop the closure of Prysmian's Bishopstoke telecoms dept. - the last of its kind in the UK. 🚨 BT must act now - as @prysmian_’s major client, it has the power to stop this.

4️⃣ DAYS ON STRIKE - and still, silence from management. 🚫Not a single attempt to sit down and talk. 🚫No effort to resolve the issue. Just calls in the morning asking why people aren’t at work - as if they don’t know. This is what disrespect looks like.

🤬 SHOCKING❗ You won’t believe this — Red Handling hasn’t been paying workers’ pension contributions. ✊ This is why they're on strike. No pension. No respect. No more.
