❌Rolling back the Cleaner Vehicle Discount will hit working people hardest. It’s unfair, and it risks reversing real progress.

Nigel Farage the worker’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.

Teachers - 4% pay rise 📈

School support staff - 3.2% pay rise 📉

We must stop this chronic undervaluing of workers so vital in our children’s education.

That’s why we need the School Support Staff Negotiating Body 🧑‍🏫

“We can’t fix what we don’t measure.”

That’s why GMB is leading the charge for mandatory ethnicity pay gap reporting.

Great to have @DawnButlerBrent and @julietocampbell joining our members today to push for real transparency.

Behind every ethnicity pay gap statistic is a real person with a story that deserves to be heard. Yesterday, GMB brought those voices face-to-face with decision-makers.

MPs Jen Craft and Callum Anderson joined us in standing up for mandatory #EthnicityPayGapReporting.

It’s been 6 months. 450+ Barnet women are still waiting to be paid fairly.

Every week of silence means:
💰 Bigger back pay bills
⚠️ More strain on services
❌ More broken trust

This is LONG overdue, and it’s only getting worse.

The EU scores just 71/100 in the 2024 Gender Equality Index — with some countries falling behind.

The gender gap is real & progress is fragile.

Closing it demands more than words: we need political will, clear priorities, & evidence-based action to achieve a #UnionOfEquality 🇪🇺
