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.

On this day in 1897 Nye Bevan, the founder of our NHS, was born in South Wales.

Wylfa was ready for a large scale reactor, but we welcome the reintroduction of nuclear energy onto Ynys Môn

We look forward to delivering with Rolls Royce trade union organised construction of the Small Modular Reactors.

Looking at sites for large gigawatt reactors is good: it must deliver.

Today we take a moment to reflect on all those who have died in service of our country - and all those who continue to serve.

Lest we forget.

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.

On this day we remember them.

We will never forget.

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.

The government have said they can only afford 2.5% for NHS Pay. That's not good enough.

Ministers must recognise the PRB is broken.

They need to come to the table themselves - and deliver the decent pay that NHS workers deserve.

Amazon cutting 14,000 jobs while registering astronomical profits shows everything that’s wrong with the business.

Bezos spends billions launching celebs into space, but he can’t treat his loyal workforce with dignity.

We'll always stand with Amazon workers.

Hi Claire 👋

Hope this helps,

New EU tariffs on steel would be a hammer blow to our steel industry.

The EU is our main export market.

Government must act swiftly to ensure we are given appropriate quotas.

Otherwise, this could be the end of UK steel making.
