🏰 If your employer says you don't need a union - you might need one.
Everyone has the right to a union. So when it comes to securing #JobsPayConditions, don't leave all the power in your employers hands. After all, can you really trust them?

“Inequality: the most interconnected global risk for a second year running" say WEF delegates.
So the big Q: Why the **** aren't ‘world leaders’ talking about taxing wealth?
It's time our government acted, they could start with a #WealthTax now!

Local businesses in Birmingham are suffering. Like residents & bin workers, they want to see an end to the strike. Why did @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social walk away from a ballpark agreement and from all negotiations back in the summer 2025?
Do your job. Get in the room. Negotiate a fair settlement

✊ Stopping pay cuts and winning rises; better overtime and extra leave.
Workers across the UK & Ireland are fighting back and winning in Unite.
On your own you beg. Together we win 💥

Despite the rubbish in the streets and a year without recycling collections Birmingham residents stand behind bin workers facing a devastating loss of up to £8k a year.
📤 Join them and tell @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social to negotiate and end to the strike now

🐀 When someone on £1,200 a day accuses bin workers of demanding 'huge sums of money' we smell a rat! And that's not just from all the rubbish @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social has let pile up over the last year

Here's some simple financial calculations for a major financial company:
💰Profits - £28.9m
📈Dividend payment to parent company TCS - £14m
😠A 5% rise for all staff would cost less than the dividend
Diligenta can afford a decent pay rise!

All bets are off at Grosvenor Casinos. This year management enjoyed an all expenses safari trip to South Africa. Yet they refuse their workers a pay rise that even keeps pace with inflation. And that is why they are on strike this holiday season!

🎲 Grosvenor Casinos have made huge profits this year and rewarded their managers with an all expenses paid safari in South Africa. But they can't afford a decent pay rise for their workers?

🛒Today is the busiest shopping day of the year. Despite being the biggest sports retailer in the UK Sports Direct refuses to pay its workers a real living wage. It still expects to make between £550m & £600m this year Stop being a Grinch & pay up! 🔔

⚽️ Sports Direct is the biggest sports retailer in the UK.
💰It expects to make between £550m & £600m this year & had a £3.20bn turnover last year. But they can't afford a pay rise or permanent contracts for its workers?

Ofgem has announced au upgrade of our creaking energy grid. And who is going to pay for it? You
That's another £100+ on already high bills, while energy cos rake it in
💰Energy cos made a £30bn in pre-tax profits
🏠 Average household pays £500 a yr in energy profits
📺 So who is getting all this cash?

🤯 Unreal! This MP thinks workers are all swinging the lead!
No one should have to choose between their health and their income. Decent sick pay and sick leave are not perks, they're essential rights 📣
