Unite the union

💰💰💰💰Elon Musk’s is the first person ever to hit a personal wealth of half a trillion dollars. That's more than the UK spends on Health, Education and Defence. Lots more.
📣 Tax the rich!

😡 "It's absolutely terrible in our streets. Rubbish is piling up." Lindsey asks Shabana Mahmood MP why has this strike gone on so long? Time to sort the mess out & come up with a decent deal for the bin workers - so they don't lose £8k. Local councillors and MPs aren't losing £8k are they?

Calls for wealth tax to fund public services supported at Labour conference | LBC Calls for a wealth tax to fund investment in public services have been supported at the Labour Party conference.

📺 "This does not feel like Labour. Picking the pocket of pensioners, leaving the super-rich totally untouched. Having two refineries close in less than a year and no plan for jobs. That is what Labour needs to focus on now" @unitesharon.bsky.social Talking to Trevor Phillips

Workers pay more than their fair share in a rigged system. A wealth tax would make sure the rich contribute, funding schools, healthcare & public services instead of hoarding wealth 💰
It’s time to take real action and invest in our communities and drive real growth

The number of unstable zero-hour contracts has risen 500% since 2010! Tried planning your life, paying your rent, getting a mortgage when you don't know when you're working or what you'll be earning?
@teamlabouruk.bsky.social needs to ban Zero Hours. No ifs. No buts. Just a ban 🚫

🔌 The UK has some of the highest energy bills in Europe & next week the energy price cap will hit £1,755 / year for a typical household - 42% up on Winter 2021/22.
😡 Meanwhile, research for the End Fuel Poverty Coalition shows energy Co’s profits since the bills crisis began at a staggering £514 bn!

Dirty streets, youth centres & libraries closing, housing repairs delayed... Our local authorities are in crisis. Workers & residents suffer while councils struggle with budget cuts & debt. It is time for Fair Funding for local authority services.

📺 WATCH: Women trade unionists send a powerful message to Deputy PM Angela Rayner 📣
For the past 8 months, Birmingham bin workers have been on strike against pay cuts of up to £8k.
If Labour wants to be the party of working people, it needs to stand with workers – and act. So where is Angela? 🤷‍♀️

❓Here's a question:
🤔 Imagine you're a Labour government and you need money after years of Tory cuts. Where would you try to find it?
❌ In disabled people's benefits cheques?
✅ In the investment accounts of the super-rich?
Answer in the comments & share

Angela Rayner and Labour stop attacking workers! It's time to get in the room and deliver! Labour's Angela Rayner is the Minister responsible for Local Government and it's her government commissioners who are blocking a deal for refuse workers at Birmingham City Council. The refuse work...

Birmingham bin workers threatened with fire and rehire, wages cut by £8,000. No wonder workers are turning their backs on Labour.
📢 Sign our petition and tell Angela Rayner to sort it out NOW!

🗣️ Birmingham Council to its workforce: "Take an £8k pay cut or the sack"
📣 Refuse workers & residents to Birmingham Council: NO WAY!
After 5 months on strike Birmingham's refuse workers are still standing strong, thanks to the support of local residents ✊
🕙 Time for Angela Rayner & Labour to act!

We fought against winter fuel cut backs, and we will continue to reject any attempt to balance the country’s finances on the back of people that have already felt the weight of 15 years of austerity - the working class must not pay for crisis they did not create 📣

We are often lectured about how higher wages ‘lead to inflation and higher prices’, but nobody wants to talk about the CEO pay spiral 👀

Pay inequality is rampant, while the value of average wages drops, top earners pocket more and more 📈
