Day 8: Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions 🇵🇸

What can we do? Read below to find out more about BDS!

Day 7: Why Discuss Palestine Post Ceasefire?

A ceasefire is our biggest priority right now, but it will not stop mass arrests and forced displacement.

As Trade Unionists, our solidarity extends beyond a ceasefire. Palestine is not a trend; it's an on-going struggle for justice.

🚨 New flexible working laws🚨

Changes to flexible working legislation came in on 6 April. Here's what they mean...

1⃣All employees can now request flexible working from the 1st day of employment.

2⃣Employees can now make 2 requests within a 12 month period, up from 1.

Day 6: The Last 6 Months for Palestinians.

32,000+ Palestinians have been killed, children face limb amputations without anaesthesia & Gaza's hospitals are destroyed.

As Trade Unionists, we must campaign for a ceasefire and highlight the suffering Palestinians endure daily.

Employers must not use their platforms/communications to deter staff from voting in strike ballots!

Day 5: Present day Palestine and British Involvement.

It's our responsibility as trade unionists to call out the British government's complicity with the crimes that are being perpetrated against Palestinians today and historically.

Our membership is increasing, and that means we are stronger. If you work for public services, don't leave yourself on mute Join.unison.org.uk

Shared by one of our school reps today...

We have sent out a violence in schools survey to all school support staff in Knowsley via email.

Let's get organised around this issue and tackle the issue collectively as opposed to fire fighting and reacting to individuals incidents.
