Fantastic day at #GMB25 Congress today, with the union coming together to do a massive shout at @BrightonHoveCC to value their women workers and settle the equal pay dispute❗️ @GMB_union members will not sit down & shut up when injustice is happening🔥

So proud of so many of our members in schools taking a stand and saying #NoToTTO! Enough is enough, it’s time to pay school support staff fairly for the ever-increasing pressures in their jobs @GMBLondonRegion #MakeWorkBetter
.@GMBLondonRegion school members work the same number of days in a year as teachers. Unlike teachers, they are on term time only contracts &do not get paid for 8 wks a year. Its time to end the unfairness of TTO & end Teaching Assistants being on the Low Paid Occupation list

Here’s Paul and his daughter, who thinks that her dad is worth more than £11.44🧡💪 @GMBLondonRegion A bit concerning for @G4SUKI that an 8 year old is talking more sense than any of the managers within their entire multi-national corporation❗️📣 #PayUpG4S @GMB_union

If anyone is feeling unsafe about going into work or whilst they’re at work, please contact your trade union rep for advice. These are scary times and your health and safety must come first.
Replying to @ShefTUC
Under Section 44 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations (1999), employees have the right to refuse to travel to work or to leave work if they have a reasonable belief that their presence at work will place them at risk of serious and imminent danger. 2/

One of the most inspiring trade unionists of our generation, this is incredibly sad to hear. RIP Jane McAlevey, a true powerhouse. ❤️
Very sad to hear that Jane McAlevey has passed away. One of the most important thinkers in the trade union movement. I learnt so much from her. Rest in peace.

I am so not used to *good* political news and it just seems to keep coming this week! My brain is struggling to comprehend but it is so, so lovely to see this, and, more importantly, to think of all the lives that will be changed through a more caring type of politics ❤️
