🦺 Workers at one of the UK’s largest frozen food facilities will walk out from today. 😡 Staff have been offered a less-than-plump 0% pay rise; a total insult to hard working members of staff.

Today’s budget is the final nail in the coffin for the Conservative’s failed austerity project. Key public services and essential infrastructure suffered because the Tories made bad economic choices - we must never go back to those dark days.

The minimum wage rise is fantastic news for millions of low-paid workers. It will lift people's pay and deliver more cash to spend on the high street. Wages not based on ages has long been our call: the higher increase for young workers is a crucial step forward.

Today is Equal Pay Day: the day women effectively stop earning compared to men. We fight inequality wherever we find it. That’s why GMB Union members have launched more than 25 equal pay claims at employers across the UK 👏

The Tories' catastrophic COVID incompetence cannot be repeated. Care homes were turned into morgues while No 10 Downing Street partied the night away. Lessons must be learned.

Wylfa was ready for a large scale reactor, but reintroducing nuclear energy onto Ynys Môn is long overdue We look forward to delivering with Rolls Royce trade union construction of the Small Modular Reactors Looking at sites for large gigawatt reactors is good: it must deliver.

30 years ago the Disability Discrimination Act came into force. It made it illegal to discriminate against disabled people - for the first time. There’s still so much to do. But we celebrate the steps forward along the way.

🚧 Morale is high on the picket at @AltradBelle 💰 The company makes huge profits. 🥜 The highly skilled manufacturing workers make just over minimum wage. 👷♂️👷♀️ The workers speak with one voice: a pay packet of pennies won't cut it. 🟧🟧

Blocking water bosses' bonuses after dismal performances is what the public rightly expect Water workers toil night and day to keep the taps running and spillages down But instead of investment in infrastructure they see money sucked out of the system in bonuses It must stop.

For many IVF isn’t a choice: it’s the only option to start a family. Yet despite the toll it takes, there's no proper support at work. Infertility is a medical condition, recognised by the World Health Organisation. Workers need paid leave for it.

What are @nextofficial scared of? Their union busting saw Sri Lankan workers sacked, just for joining a union. Here in the Midlands, managers tried to chase union reps off site to stop them speaking with staff. This is a high street retail giant. Watch for yourself ⬇️
