Octopus may have signed a sweetheart deal, but they haven't stopped GMB. We represent hundreds of Octopus workers and will continue organising across the business, supporting our members and pursuing our recognition campaign. GMB is here to stay.

Care workers were "fed to the wolves" in COVID. It cannot be repeated. Lessons must be learned. #CovidInquiry

The Jackdaw announcement is great news. Burnham’s government deserves real credit for doing the right thing for our country. For too long, this and other vital decisions on gas supplies and storage have been put off: risking our energy security at a volatile time.

Our carers were on the front line during the pandemic. Vulnerable and exposed as care homes turned into morgues. That cannot be allowed to happen again. We look forward to working with the Government to enact the inquiry's recommendations.

Government must not shy away from nationalising Thames Water. For too long it has been left: resulting in crumbling infrastructure, rocketing bills, uncertainty for jobs and pensions. We need a water industry fit for the future. It must come back into public ownership.

This #BlackHistoryMonth we want to highlight heroes from our union. Alvin Christie came to the UK from Jamaica to help with the war effort. He worked in a tank factory, joined GMB and became a branch activist - blazing a trail for black activists in our movement ✊🏾

School support staff in Merton get less in London weighting than teachers. It’s not right - and it must change 💪 That’s why they marched on @educationgovuk #LondonWeightingNeedsInflating

This #BlackHistoryMonth we want to highlight heroes from our union. Aurellia Martins worked at Oakfield House, a care home on Wimbledon Common. Management refused to organise transport for the women working long and anti-social hours.

After one of her colleagues was sexually assaulted, she took a stand and won the battle for safe working conditions for herself and her sisters 👏🏾 She was the first black woman to receive the TUC Gold Badge for her services to trade unionism. #BlackHistoryMonth

The £500m handed to teachers from school support staff pensions could have: 🏫 Given every teaching assistant £1000 🎨 Boosted school support worker pay by £600 School support staff are badly paid and undervalued - and rightly furious at the decision from government #lab26
