NHS mental health services are stretched to breaking point.
Workers are being forced to strike to protect their working conditions and jobs. And to defend patient safety.
On please comment and share to show your support for mental health workers 🏥🙏💚✊

Last autumn, this restaurant owner and Reform councillor said this on LBC ▶️ 😳

Meanwhile, a recent study by Barnardo’s found that more than half of young people in England have been forced out of job, apprenticeship or training opportunities because they couldn’t afford the costs involved, like travel, clothes or childcare.

Young people shouldn’t be priced out of building their future before they’ve even had the chance to start.

For too long, young workers have been seen as cheap labour. But everyone deserves decent work and fair, liveable pay, no matter their age.

That means creating decent job opportunities AND ensuring liveable wages .
Our union stands with every young person fighting for the jobs, pay and conditions they deserve ✊

Households across the UK have faced years of near-continuous cost-of-living pressures 📈

Now, a new report by the Resolution Foundation has found that the cost-of-living crisis has caused real incomes to fall by almost 8%, leaving the typical family £2,900 worse off.

One of the biggest culprits? Energy costs 💡

Last year, our report found that energy bills had risen by 42% since 2021, while energy companies made £30 billion in profits in just one year 😳

And as soaring energy bills continue to fuel the crisis, millions of households have been forced to cut back on heating. Around 1.7 million families were unable to keep their homes warm enough in 2022/23 compared with the previous year.

People are having to choose between heating their homes, buying food and paying the bills.

So what’s the solution?

Public ownership of utilities to put an end to profiteering and put people before profit 📣

From Cuffay’s Chartist organising, to Johnson’s fight against racism, to Morris leading one of Britain’s biggest unions and predecessor of Unite - Black trade unionists have helped shape the movement we have today 📣

They helped to shape the foundations of equality and justice and black voices in the movement - and today, the fight continues 👏

When workers stand together, we can change our workplaces and change society ✊

Concerns include the energy and water take of the projects, treatment of migrant workers and union relations.
Jones need to negotiate a fair end to our long-running dispute over union-busting.
Stand with us for justice and fair treatment!

This weekend, we remember the past to keep fighting for a better future ✊

Our union joined marching across East London standing together against division in commemoration of the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street.

In 1936, more than 100,000 ordinary people stood in solidarity to push back against the fascist Blackshirts when they tried to march through the heart of London’s Jewish community driven by antisemitism, racism and prejudice.

90 years on, the message from those who stood up remains as important as ever: unity is stronger than division 📣
