#WeRemember Derek T Potts who lost his life in the line of duty on the 26th June 1983. Derek ‘Ginger’ Potts was 37 years old when he collapsed and died of a heart attack while fighting a blaze at 44 Compton Road, Islington.
Are you a trade union rep concerned about the temperature in your workplace? Want to get your hands on one of our @tuc.org.uk thermometers?
People will be like “Britain is broken” and post a photo of some graffiti on the tube Meanwhile our government is cutting disabled people’s incomes in half, giving medical professionals the right to kill the terminally ill, not to mention arming a genocidal state
The majority of people who do not believe Britain should be supporting the bombing of Iran must raise their voices Not just for the people of Iran or even Palestine, but for yourself: we all become less safe the moment our state steps in to justify bloodshed abroad

I don’t know how many Americans have noticed or understood the significance of Mµsk’s recent interest in British politics, but if you know about his defence of T*mmy Robinson, then there is no question over what that gesture was on Monday. He knew what he was doing.

We are calling on First Group's Hull Trains to explain why they've failed in their duty to operate safely - a driver, who suffers from PTSD after experiencing several suicides during their shifts, was dismissed when they raised safety concerns:

Important public interest journalism from @joeduggan1.bsky.social at the i We @the-tuc.bsky.social are calling for a ban on the use of high-silica stone as young men working with it continue to die. They are all around my age (average age 34). Preventable deaths. Front page news. As it should be.

I’m shocked that the vote on assisted dying went the way it did. The message from disabled people’s groups seems near unanimous in opposition. At least it was close, and there is still time for minds to be changed… but those disabled people’s voices need amplifying by all of us.
What’s going on with that knife crime charity with the amateur looking logo that has LOADS of young ppl outside tube stations? And they don’t follow the same unwritten rules of most charity fundraisers (eg 3 step limit), they will CHASE you down the street Is the charity legit?
An interesting comparison: the number of days workers take off sick costs the economy far more than the number of days workers are on strike
Live from #SafetyRepsConnect | Yn fyw o #CysylltuCynrychiolwyrDiogelwch: @shellyasquith.bsky.social: “It’s official. According to TUC research, workplaces with Health & Safety Reps are safer workplaces.”
“Our members keep going on strike, and they keep going on strike about safety” - @danielshears.bsky.social @gmbunion.bsky.social on some of the union’s important disputes as Asda, G4S and Amazon 💪
Good to have Phil Liptrot @thompsons.law opening up the Safety Reps Connect event this morning in Cardiff, with a look back at the Health & Safety at Work Act in its 50th year
I’m so confused by Cher Horowitz’s support for the farmers today
Petitions are cool, but have you ever seen workers air their collective grievances over lack of toilet access directly onto loo rolls? 🧻 🧻 🧻 #WorldToiletDay

If you’ve left Twitter to come here, I guarantee you’ll be fascinated (and perhaps a bit frightened) by this podcast from @tortoisemedia.bsky.social It looks at how the rich and powerful pay huge sums to have employees, lovers, even those who criticise them on the internet, surveilled and smeared.
