This weekend, we sat down with outsourced cleaners from @iwgbunion.bsky.social working in some of London's biggest high-street shops.
In our workshops, workers consistently flag the huge gap between what brands think is happening, and what workers actually experience every day.
Unions ain't busted! 💥 Our solidarity was on full display at the Rockstar Games office in Edinburgh yesterday
We told them loud and clear! 📣
No amount of profit or prestige can ever match the power of a united workforce
This is just the beginning
See you at the next protest✊🏽

We, the workers at Bethesda Games Studios, express our solidarity and support for the developers at Rockstar Games. Last month’s firings in the UK and Canada were a clear and disgusting case of union busting.

‘Say Sorry, Be Nice!’ Staff at @rockstargames.com fired en masse- in a “calculated attack on workers” according to @iwgbunion.bsky.social. The mass firing comes just months ahead of the release of Grand Theft Auto VI, predicted to be the biggest game launch in history: www.ier.org.uk/news/say-sor...

What an inspiring weekend in Glasgow for our Political Economy & Organising Training ✊
For 2 days, we studied the system, asking who profits from our work & how we build worker power
The energy was incredible & members left with a strong community
Change starts when we educate, agitate & organise
Today, we honoured Rob Dale, a driver whose life was lost during the immense stress of TfL's licence delays.
We held a vigil at their offices, a somber remembrance that turned into a fiery protest
We turned grief into action and demanded justice.
The fight continues for all drivers. ✊🏽

Join us to honour Rob Dale. His TfL licence renewal was delayed for months, leaving him unable to work. He died of a heart attack 13 days after pleading with TfL for help. We gather to remember him and demand urgent reform.

Rockstar: tries to bust unions🦹♀️

IWGB organized a protest in front of the @rockstargames.com parent company Take-Two Interactive in London today
We'll make sure the credits are rolling on their corporate greed ❌️
@gameworkers.co.uk
In one of the most shameless instances of union-busting Rockstar Games fired 30+ IWGB union members for NO OTHER REASON than to terrorize & silence them.
Join the IWGB protest!
Demand reinstatement!

🕙 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM
📍Take-Two House, 30 Cleveland Street, London, W1T 4JD
BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.
Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Rockstar: not only making history in terms of profits, but in enacting the most brazen act of union busting the games industry has ever seen.

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity.
We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.
🙌The first recognised union for game devs in the UK! 🙌

So we're investigating the barriers workers face when they seek justice at tribunals.
But we need your help!

An incredible demonstration of strength from eCourier workers today, hitting the streets with the biggest strike day numbers yet!
We confronted Royal Mail shareholders Schroders, UBS, and BNP Paribas over their complicity in the exploitation.
Tomorrow we go again ✊
CUT THE RENT!
Rising rents destroy our communities. The government is more interested in building expensive flats than stopping the rent hikes.
Tenants in Europe are taking action and winning. We're supporting London Renters Union's call to take to the streets to demand housing justice!
@iwgbunion.bsky.social
members in the couriers' branch are fighting for their rights against a company determined to underpay and exploit them. Join them on foot or by bike on Thursday and Friday!
The eCourier, owned by Royal Mail, is denying basic employment rights to couriers and has not triggered an internal investigation. The couriers are organised by @iwgbunion.bsky.social and need funds to strike.

Check this out! Instead of negotiating with their security guards, Wilson James is more concerned about managing their image than ensuring a fair wage for the guardians of our culture and history. 🤔 #uvwstrikes #securitystrikes

This sort of intimidatory tactic to stop striking workers from speaking to the press is surprisingly common.
When I worked at the @iwgbunion.bsky.social our members faced similar threats, including from UCL contractor Sodexo, as was covered by @inews.co.uk. inews.co.uk/inews-lifest...
