A big thank you to @tucneyh.bsky.social regional secretary Dave Pike, saying it as it is at @unison-wakefieldlg.bsky.social's rally in support of striking workers at @ncmme.bsky.social ✊

Yesterday I had the honour of representing the @tucneyh.bsky.social at Durham Pride's World Aids Day event. The politicisation of queer peoples health care, and its impact, is a trade union issue, and solidarity is the answer. Proper funding for HIV/Aids medical intervention must be our demand.

Thank you to the young trade unionists from across our region who came together for our annual Youth Patrol in Sheffield this weekend. Joined by a delegation from @social.verdi.de speaking to hundreads of young workers across the city, about their rights and why they should join a union

Victory to @ucu.org.uk members at Sheffield Hallam & University of Sheffield Management must wake up and listen to staff, vanity projects and six figure salaries wont cut it! Our universities are a economic lynchpin for our region, and an engine of social mobility Solidarity to UCU members!

Solidarity with @ucu.org.uk members at Sheffield Hallam on strike this week over proposed redudancies. The leadership of Sheffield Hallam University must stop and listen to their staff. It is the lectrurers and support staff that keep a University running, not those on 6 figures salaries.
