The minimum wage for people over 21 is wholly inadequate as it is. For those under, it's utterly shameful.

Farage's suggestion that it needs to be brought down further is shameful. People starting out in the workplace deserve better than him, better than Reform, and better than Labour.

Young Workers Month has just started and Farage has announced that Reform wants to lower the minimum wage for young workers.

Major victory for workersโ€™ rights across Europe: the EU formally adopted the revision of the European Works Councils Directive.

Amazon cutting 14,000 jobs while registering astronomical profits shows everything thatโ€™s wrong with the business.

ASLEF is firmly anti-austerity.  

This legislation will impact the most vulnerable in our society, pushing hundreds of thousands of people into poverty, people who have already experienced 14 years of the Conservative's economic attacks.  

There must be real consultation on all proposed changes and proper time must be given to consider the results before a vote on any changes can take place. 

We urge the Government to listen to the concerns raised by Labour politicians and disabled organisations and charities and reconsider this course of action.

Our pay campaign is just beginning. At conference, delegates voted to approve a plan:
โœ…Win pay progression
โœ…Address pay inequality
โœ…Recover after years of austerity

To deliver this, we need investment. If sufficient progress is not made, we will consider industrial action.

It's time to reverse austerity - not double down on it. Cuts to disability benefits are an attack on all of us.

There is an alternative: tax the rich.

If you're in London on Monday, join the protest outside parliament at 4.30pm

Nigel Farage the workerโ€™s friend? No chance.

He voted against ending fire and rehire.

He voted against sick pay from day 1.

He wants to privatise the NHS.

We see you.

UCU declares academic boycott of Brunel University over mass redundancies The University and College Union (UCU) has declared an academic boycott of Brunel University London in response to the institution's continued pursuit of mass redundancies.

Support the academic boycott of Brunel over mass job cuts.

A major conference has moved off campus and pension trustees have refused to attend a Brunel event.

Brunel must work with us to avoid needless redundancies.

Solidarity.
