Safety is at the heart of what we do as a union.
Delivering an effective, professional fire service requires safe procedures, training and resources - including safe crewing levels.
On #WorkersMemorislDay and for the future we remember the dead - and fight for the living.
On #WorksMemorialDay we must remember that H&S in the workplace is something workers have fought and died for. In the fire service these protections include minimum crewing levels on fire engines. Riding 3 for any reason is unacceptable. Lee Ben Ian Hibbert
A safe workplace is a right, not a privilege. This #WMD2024 we remember lost lives at work, and call for stronger policies to protect working people. Speaking at our #AndStillWeRise festival, Matt Wrack highlights the link between workers' rights and the climate crisis. 1/5

Today marks 11 years since the #RanaPlaza disaster in Bangladesh that killed at least 1,132 workers & injured over 2,500.
It remains one of the worst industrial incidents on record.
I pay tribute to those seeking justice & trade unionists organising in the garment industry. 🧵
