Really important petition. #Followthescience 👇👇👇
Time is running out

Ergonomic chairs are required under a EU derived regulation to protect from RSI and back pain. Would you rather workers sit on wooden benches and then go off sick with back and neck pain? #deform 🙄 #bbclaurak

After an emotional and humbling day, back home for a bit of rugby. The question is which is best the English one with the Welsh sounding name or the one from the most beautiful part of south Wales? #WalesvEngland

Lisa's story is just one of many we hear from nursing staff who have been severely impacted by long COVID.
On #LongCOVIDAwarenessDay, we reiterate our call for the government to recognise it as an occupational disease.

Shame on you spotify
Can you believe Spotify are hosting this “course”?
Would hosting this be a breach of the UK’s Online Safety act?
Shockingly there’s no way to report this on the Spotify app?!?

Union H&S reps are the eyes & ears of the workforce alerting managers to safety concerns before they cause harm to staff and patients.They should be celebrated by the employer, not victimised. Hats off to Mr Villani and all H&S reps.
That this was an NHS trust makes it all the more disgraceful.
Mr Villani is a vital union rep keeping his colleagues safe and well at work. Yet he was the target of management at the hospital. Unite will never stand for such behaviour and I'm delighted the tribunal found in his favour.
