Today marks 60 years since the Aberfan Disaster, one of the darkest days in our history.
The tragedy, which cut short so many lives, remains etched in the memory of our nation. We remember the 144 who died and pay tribute to a community of such strength and resilience.

🎥 What could Heathrow expansion mean for British steelmaking? Last week, @HeathrowAirport and 7 Steel UK signed a Memorandum of Understanding in Cardiff, reaffirming our commitment to procuring domestically and providing greater confidence to invest in UK steelmaking.
With expansion potentially requiring up to 400,000 tonnes of #steel, the opportunity could support reindustrialisation and skilled jobs in steelmaking communities across the country – including South Wales, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and the North East.
Hear from Thomas Woldbye, Carles Rovira, Jon Harrison, Liz Maher OBE and Paul McKenna on why this matters, as we marked the signing alongside @CommunityUnion, @cw_seswm, #Cardiff City Council and @UKSteel__.

Thank you to @CommunityUnion for highlighting the importance of checking your risk for osteoporosis using the Great British Bone Check.

1 in 2 women over 50 will break a bone because of osteoporosis. 🦴
Menopause can also increase the risk.
World Menopause Day may be over, but the Great British Bone Check offers a simple starting point to understand your bone health and speak to your GP.👇

The world of work has changed. Our employment laws need to keep pace.
Today, we’ve launched a consultation on employment status reform and protections for the self-employed, to tackle bogus self-employment and build a fairer system.

Thank you to @CommunityUnion for coming along today and supporting the work of our APPG and women with endometriosis. We need to work together to achieve the change in the workplace that women desperately need and now we have the evidence to make the arguments to governments.
Good to be at the parliamentary launch of the Endometriosis APPG's new report on the impact of endometriosis in the workplace today.
Powerful speeches, including from @kittysull1 & @EndometriosisUK, on the need to make workplaces more inclusive, flexible & fair.

Labour Unions General Secretaries met the Prime Minister this morning - we had a positive discussion about how Labour in government tackle the cost of living crisis and show they are on the side of working people.
Andy Burnham has brought hope back - now let's work together to bring about the change workers are crying out for.

Major UK #tradeunions are making their position clear: Heathrow expansion can help deliver opportunities across the UK.
Thank you to @unitetheunion’s General Secretary Sharon Graham, @GMB_union’s General Secretary Gary Smith and @CommunityUnion's General Secretary Roy Rickhuss CBE for recognising the jobs, skills and economic opportunities expansion can help create in every nation and region of the country.
👷 Heathrow is the UK's largest single-site employer and this national project will support 108,000 jobs, boost trading capacity by 50% and make travel more affordable to more destinations
🏗️ A third runway project could require up to 400,000 tonnes of steel, creating significant demand for UK manufacturers and supporting supply chains, investment and skilled jobs across the country.
📈 Expansion could unlock even more opportunities through investment, tourism, trade, connectivity and supply chain growth across every nation and region of the UK.

It was great to see @CommunityUnion highlighting discussions between General Secretary Roy Rickhuss CBE, @The_TUC General Secretary @nowak_paul and Heathrow representatives at this year's TUC #Congress26.
We're proud to work with the Union, and as a signatory of the UK Steel Charter, we're committed to supporting the industries, communities and workforce that will help build Britain's future.
Heathrow expansion represents a major opportunity for British industry. A third runway project could require up to 400,000 tonnes of steel, creating significant demand for UK manufacturers and supporting supply chains, investment and skilled jobs across the country.
Together with trade unions, employers and educators, we can help ensure the opportunities created by expansion are felt in every nation and region of the UK.

Three generations of the Watkins family have worked at Llanwern steelworks.
As Welsh Secretary I'll be doing all I can to ensure those good job opportunities continue.
“You always need a Watkins on the Zodiac line!”

Let’s make no bones about it, many of our members across the steel industry are hurting and feel frustrated. Sites that are critical national assets – and which ultimately sit at the heart of the government’s steel strategy – are facing huge uncertainty.
These are uncertain times for our steelworkers. They need government on their side, writes @CommunityUnion's

Great to join the Prime Minister in meeting trade union reps at Port Talbot steelworks yesterday.
Really good discussion about the crucial role for Welsh steel in this UK government’s commitment to re-industrialising Britain - a major focus for me as Welsh Secretary
🤝👍
🏴 Our Port Talbot reps met with @andyburnham & @SKinnock today.
Great to discuss the government's ongoing support for our steel industry.

We are incredibly thankful to the women from across our union who answered our women's health in the workplace survey.
Women's reproductive health is a trade union issue. We stand with our colleagues and will fight to ensure they get the support they need and deserve.
Women's Health is a trade union issue
That's why we're proud to launch our new #SupportingHerTogether campaign, to raise awareness of the impact of menstrual and reproductive health at work and how we can build stronger, healthier workplaces.

How can we fix the teacher retention crisis? 👨🏫
Teaching is a fantastic profession that offers the opportunity to change lives. But in recent years, we've seen a growing number of teachers leave the state sector.
In our new report, @Joe_Dromey & @CllrMarcus set out how we can tackle the teacher retention crisis.
