🚨BREAKING: New polling from ITV shows Birmingham Councillors must resolve the bins strike or face losing their seat
"Almost 60% said resolving the bins strike is one of their top priorities, and 63% said it will directly influence how they vote" @itvnews.bsky.social

Labour must immediately rule out the threat of limiting the right to strike for resident doctors. NHS and other workers went towards danger in Covid, while the rich and powerful were receiving parcels at home by the hour.

Do the right thing by workers now.

⚖️ KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

🫨 Tight-fisted bosses at Stansted Airport have offered a pay rise worth a tin of beans a week, provoking strikes & disruption next week. That's despite ABM reporting revenues of $2.2bn in March.

🇺🇸 An average Barclays worker would have had to start working in 1778 to have earned their CEO's £15 million pay packet in 2025. In 1778 George Washington defeated British troops at the Battle of Monmouth! Collective bargaining is the best way to challenge income inequality

Civil Service Pension Scheme: Capita confirms data breach Cabinet Office says it is taking the incident 'extremely seriously'

“This latest in a litany of extremely serious failures by Capita shows why the government’s manifesto promise to reverse outsourcing is more important than ever. Ministers need to keep that promise and bring the CSPS back in-house” @unitesharon.bsky.social

🇪🇸 Spain has a wealth tax

Maybe we can pay workers properly and tax the rich without the sky falling in 🤔

Global super-rich may have hidden $3.55tn from tax officials, says Oxfam Charity calls for a levy on the very richest and the closing of tax loopholes in its report on offshore wealth

"It's time for a wealth tax on the super-rich and a tax on excess profits. We need serious investment in our crippled public services and in industry. We won’t get the money needed for that just by waiting for growth” @unitesharon.bsky.social

Unite Investigates has identified 5 key ways companies try to profit from shocks, and evidence that some are jumping on the opportunity to profiteer from the Iran War

📊Today’s new energy price cap means bills will go down. Briefly. But the war in Iran means they will soon bounce back up.
💰Unite research showed energy companies made £30bn profits in 2024. That's around £500 per household, and a quarter of business energy bills!

Meet at the Unite banner, Park Lane, midday www.togetheralliance.org.uk

The bosses profit from our labour and run the show. They have wealth & power on their side. If we want better pay or to curb profiteering, all workers have on our side is each other. It is unity, #solidarity that can beat exploitation and profiteering.

❓Who is jacking up fuel pump and electricity charges?
🤔Migrants?
🤔Black people?
🤔Or greedy bosses?

🤯A year of all out strike action by bin workers. A year of failure by @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social
The council is attempting to snatch £8k a year from bin workers' pay.
It has wasted £33m trying to break the strike & has failed to attend a single negotiation for nine months!

'I've been on bin strike for a year - city has turned into cesspit, I'm ashamed' Next week marks the first anniversary of the mass walkout that crippled Birmingham’s bin collections. It led to mountains of waste piling up in the city’s streets and fears of a public health crisis

🪧A year on strike. Why is @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social failing to negotiate an end for its workers and residents?
