🚨 Adrian is facing a daunting reality: a £6,000 pay cut from @BhamCityCouncil. This could mean losing the roof over his head. 🙇♂️ Like many families in his community, he’s grappling with the harsh impact of such a drastic financial blow. How much more can they endure?

"In 35 years of negotiating huge disputes, I have never seen such a shambles. Angela Rayner and John Cotton’s shambolic mismanagement of this dispute just makes it more likely that the strikes will continue into Christmas and beyond." - @UniteSharon . #BrumBinStrike.

Fantastic #UniteWIN for our members at Wilson James in Heathrow who stood firm for their #JobsPayConditions👏.
🚨 Another @unitetheunion win! Wilson James passenger assistance workers play a key role in keeping one of Europe's busiest airports moving. But their pay just wasn't adding up. So they organised, and won. 💪🏽
