πŸ“’ Workers will not crumble, they will not move on and they will not give up.

Today in #Birmingham we lined the streets with Birmingham bin workers and stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

The whole trade union movement is with you. Solidarity. ✊

Members from all HE unions have voted to reject the insulting pay offer of 1.4% (a real-terms pay cut), and UNISON, UCU, Unite and EIS will be balloting for IA.

A joint statement from @unison.org.uk, @unitetheunion.bsky.social, @ucu.org.uk, @gmb.org.uk and EIS, is below. #fundourfuture #fundourpay

The whole of our union supports @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social striking bin workers.

Council leader @cllrjohncotton.bsky.social has not attended a single negotiation and Angela Rayner, who is responsible for government commissioners, is complicit in the #FireAndRehire of these workers.

Village Hotels is promoting in-work poverty and a poor working environment alongside undermining basic employment law in the sole pursuit of profit. @unitetheunion.bsky.social will back our members all the way in fighting back against such Victorian standards set by Village Hotels.

John Cotton needs to stop hiding from the biggest issue facing his @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social – the bin strikes.

Birmingham residents understand exactly why the bin workers are striking: The scale of the cuts being proposed by the council are indefensible. Bin workers face losing their homes.
