🤯 You won't believe what this agency manager tells workers emptying bins in Birmingham!
😡 Is a @teamlabouruk.bsky.social council really saying they won't employ anyone who joins a picket line? Isn't that called blacklisting? Shouldn't Labour-run @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social be against that?

When I was elected Unite GS, I promised to uncover the truth about allegations of historical corruption, particularly in relation to the Birmingham Hotel & Conference Centre. I can now provide information from the independent inquiries that I commissioned: Interim report 👉 tinyurl.com/bdhm43aw

A Unite survey shows that pensioners are suffering real-life effects of the needless cut to winter fuel. They're shivering at home, having to go without bathing or without meals.
Instead of picking the pocket of pensioners, the govt should be looking at a wealth tax on the very richest in society.
