Unite the union

“This is the second time in less than two years that this government has denied 50s-born women the pension justice they are rightfully owed.
It is a disgraceful decision. This government needs to reflect on its treatment of #WASPI women. and change course.”

Birmingham Council tell residents:
They have to take. £8k from bin workers because of equal pay. Legal advice says this is rubbish!
They are acting to save public money. Their wn report says the strike has cost them £33m. Rubbish!
The streets are clean. Rubbish!

🏰 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?

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

🐀 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

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?
