The DWP strike ballot ends on Monday, 23 Feb. It is vitally important we get a YES vote but of course the anti-trade Union laws mean we have to get a 50% plus turnout as well. Every vote, your vote, therefore counts. So vote, and vote YES.

Taylor Rehmet Shows Working-Class Politics Can Win Everywhere A union machinist just won a Texas State Senate seat Trump carried by 17 points. He was outspent four to one. How did he do it? By tossing out the Democrats’ playbook and running a grassroots economic populist campaign with a strong pro-labor message.

Please listen to the podcast if you can. We can learn lessons from the labor movement in Minnesota. In fact faced with a Reform government in the UK we have to learn those lessons!

Nearly 30,000 Minnesotans trained as constitutional observers The Immigrant Defense Network works with more than 100 organizations to help train constitutional observers. At the end of November, there were 2,500 trained observers. That number has soared as more ...

Interesting report from Minnesota. 'Edwin Torres Desantiago, the Immigrant Defense Network manager, told MPR News in November that 2,500 people were trained as (constitutional) observers. He said the total now is nearly 30,000 trained observers in 77 out of 87 counties in Minnesota'.

From the book 'The Good Society'; of all the 40 countries in the OECD and the EU, Britain had the greatest rise in child poverty in the decade before 2023, at 20%; close to a third of British children now live in poverty.

‘I think we feel stuck’: Kate Pickett on how to build a better, fairer, less stressed society In her new book, the co-author of The Spirit Level gathers jaw-dropping facts about the inequality crisis in the UK – and explores creative ways to address it

We need bold, structural change to rebuild a fairer, healthier society: www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Please read this article on Kate Pickett’s book the The Good Society. It shows how inequality drives the crises in care, health, education and justice and why tinkering at the edges won’t fix a system this broken.

Congratulations to the Resident doctors who voted in the ballot. The government now has a choice; heed the vote and negotiate a deal or face further strife.

Will ICE Ignite a Mass Strike in Minnesota? Minnesota appears to be in gear for a mass uprising. Unions, community organizations, faith leaders, and small businesses there are calling for a statewide day of “no work (except for emergency servic...

As thousands of ICE agents swarmed the Minneapolis area since December, workers have been facing them on the job and organizing in various ways to fight back, @lfelizleon.bsky.social reported ahead of the Jan. 23 day of action in Minnesota: labornotes.org/2026/01/will... 🧵 1/7

In The Twin Cities, A Massive Strike Against ICE Icicles hung from the beards of men in union beanies. The lobbies of large commercial buildings in downtown Minneapolis opened to the public for respite filled with people rubbing each other’s sore fe...

From the large windows of a skyway between buildings in downtown Minneapolis, it looked like some 50,000 to 100,000 demonstrators were in the streets, snarling traffic, lifting banners, and waving handmade signs in gloved hands, @Lfelizleon writes labornotes.org/2026/01/twin...

The International Committee also discussed, and decided on actions concerning Iran, Ukraine, Sudan and the Far Right in Europe.

Today, the PCS International Committee met to address the ongoing situation in Minneapolis. So we will send formal messages of solidarity to Alex’s Local and the local AFL-CIO. Mother Jones saying is relevant here "Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living!"

For British trade union activists in particular, EPSU’s collective bargaining newsletter is invaluable for keeping up to date with trade union struggles across the EU and wider Europe. If you can, it’s well worth following.

Image of raised arms in silhouette in front or an Iranian flag painted on a wall. The text below reads: The BMA calls on Iranian authorities to respect medical neutrality and international human rights law.

The text on the slide reads: The BMA is gravely concerned that medical neutrality and the health-related human rights of protestors are being violated in Iran. Since the protests erupted in Iran, verified accounts of attacks on multiple hospitals have been reported – including reports of patients and medical workers being attacked and security forces arbitrarily arresting protestors from hospitals.

The text on the slide reads: Under international human rights law, medical facilities and healthcare workers must not be attacked or impeded from being able to carry out their duties, those who require treatment and care must be able to access healthcare services and doctors must be allowed to treat all patients according to their medical needs.

The text on the slide reads: Protestors must be allowed to access medical care without fear of arbitrary arrest and doctors must be allowed to treat them without fear of repercussions. We call on Iranian authorities to ensure respect for medical neutrality and the human rights of its people.

The BMA is gravely concerned about reports of violations of medical neutrality in Iran. Read our statement below.

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?

And we mustn't forget that the reason Dr. King was in Memphis was to support black sanitation workers on strike. Dr. King supported the labour movement and in turn, at least certain elements of the movement supported him and the Civil Rights struggle.

Again a simple problem to solve.

Please read this. An important response from the trade union and wider movement.

I accept that these UK Ice-like forces will not be armed, at least with pistols and rifles, but nevertheless Reform seems to want to have the same terrorising effect on people.

If you don't think something similar couldn't happen in this country, then think again. Reform openly speaks of having an Ice-like force for this country and to carry out raids to deport hundreds of thousands of people.

ICE Is on a Violent, Illegal, Immoral Rampage ICE appears to be reveling in the hypocrisy and double standards that the Trump administration’s unqualified defense of their sickeningly violent and occasionally murderous behavior, against Renee Good and innumerable others, has given them license to indulge in.

It’s been almost 4️⃣ years.

▪️ For four years, the Ukrainian people have been living under bombs.
▪️ For four years, Russia’s brutal aggression has continued.
▪️ For four years, workers in #Ukraine have been keeping their country running - rescuing people & supporting those forced to leave their homes.

The Labour Mayor of London could sort this out very simply. Treat our members fairly and minimally give them the same as IOPC and NCA.

130 PCS members at the London Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) will strike from today to 15 January over real-terms pay cuts. They were offered a 2% rise while the Mayor of London received 3.2%, with other policing organisations IOPC and NCA receiving 3.5% and 4.4% respectively.

Along with UNISON and other unions, 2026 is also a year of Green activity for PCS as well.
