How much money has Birmingham City Council spent on agency bin workers. Probably a lot more than it would have cost to not cut bin workers pay by £8000. 14 months of strike breaking by a labour council! Unbelievable and shameful. 😤 @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social @brumlabour.bsky.social

The facts are clear @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social was breaking the law by using agency staff to try to break the strike. 1/3

I will be joining hundreds of NHS workers at parliament to protest against NHS cuts to jobs and services. Unite will be continuing to pressure the government into investing properly in our health service and not making the system and the service worse by cutting jobs and services. Join us. ⤵️

@channel4news.bsky.social's #DirtyBusiness has got people across the country up in arms over private equity ownership draining UK public services. Unfortunately, Thames water is just the tip of rotting refuse mound at the core public services👇 www.equals.ink/p/think-wate... @equalshope.bsky.social

Private equity is under fire for polluting water in #DirtyBusiness—but water isn’t the only thing being drained. In this blog, @hbignell.bsky.social shows how the same model is hollowing out care systems. Profits rise. Care suffers. Read more: www.equals.ink/p/think-wate...

I often hear Norway described as a gold standard with regards inequality, but what is the reality? Inherited wealth, a housing system that locks young people out of home ownership and deepening food insecurity mean Norway is not quite the paragon of equality we have all been led to believe 👇

“This is yet another pathetic attempt to intimidate workers and it won’t work. Unite will not allow these workers to pay the price for the council’s failings in their pay packets...” www.unitetheunion.org/news-events/... @unitetheunion.bsky.social

Amazing energy on the picket line last week to mark a whole year that the Birmingham bin workers have been on strike. 7 months after the council walked away from negotiations and £30m spent on strike busting...still the workers stand strong 💪 @unitetheunion.bsky.social

The Manosphere and right-wing populism are turbo charging capitalism to the detriment of women everywhere. There are structural changes happening in our global economies and States are responding - as they always have - by forcing women into domestic, caring roles and out of the work force.

We're in London today with a big old bus to tell our Govt this country cannot afford cuts. Instead they should tax us, the super rich. A 2% wealth tax alone could raise up to £460mln a week. @Keir_starmer - invest in a fairer economy. Patriotic Millionaires say Tax Our Wealth
