Thoughts are with our comrade who was injured during last nights significant fire after a building collapse in in Radcliffe Highlighting once again the risks firefighters take on a daily basis to protect the communities they serve
Shortly after 7.50pm last night, nine fire engines and various specialist appliances from across Greater Manchester were called to attend a fire at a commercial building on Milltown Street in Radcliffe. Our crews have worked overnight to extinguish the fire. In the early stages

Earlier today @fbunational firefighters from Salford explained to their MP @RLong_Bailey how both the public and their own safety are being put at increased risk, if austerity is continued by further central government cuts.

@UnionSteveW "Unions affiliated to Labour will not tolerate a betrayal of striking workers like we saw in the 1990s with Liverpool dockers where Blair's government failed to act." Solidarity the megapicket Friday, July 25.

Birmingham bin workers face pay cuts up to £8,000. FBU general secretary @UnionSteveW demands the Labour government force the council to halt cuts and compensate strikers for lost earnings.

To be clear: the same PM who has repeatedly promised to introduce the full Hillsborough Law - including a duty of candour & parity of arms - today sent a Govt whip to stop that very legislation, tabled by @IanByrneMP, in its tracks & end its progress in Parliament. Shameful.
This is the moment the Government blocked the Hillsborough Law - officially known as the Public Authority (Accountability) Bill. Thank you to my friend @johnmcdonnellMP for being in the Chamber with me – and for expressing his outrage at the Government's behaviour.

This week @UKLabour have called Israeli concentration camps 'a sticking point', whilst continuing to support genocide. Implemented a bill that will drive disabled people into poverty. And, further demonised refugees. ALL affiliated unions including @fbunational need to cut ties.

If only UK workers from other sectors were educated/organised by their unions to fight for publicly provided, universal, free healthcare they all need to keep them & their families well? @BFAWUOfficial & @fbumerseyside @fbunational know the score!
Los trabajadores del metal se plantan frente al hospital de Cádiz para decir algo: la sanidad pública se defiende.
