NEW🚨| More than half of the UK’s film and TV workforce are still out of work, a year on from the SAG-AFTRA strikes. Our survey of more than 2,300 film and TV workers found that more people than ever are considering leaving the sector altogether 🧵

🚨 This year's Civil Service pay remit is 5% Prospect has long campaigned for a change of approach to the Civil Service and this is a welcome first step. We will continue to work with Ministers and officials to build a process that delivers fair rewards and progression.

Stronger public services are vital for economic growth. The Chancellor is right to honour the recommendations of the pay review bodies. This can be a crucial first step in dealing with the recruitment and retention crisis blighting our schools and hospitals.

Today marks 50 years since The Health and Safety at Work Act received Royal Assent. The Bill was life-saving legislation making workplaces safer across the country 🦺

Fully support the TUC statement on recent violence. Union members must be supported in work and in their communities. #unitedagainsthate tuc.org.uk/news/tuc-anti-…

Statement on far-right violence: Prospect members will have been shocked by the continuing far-right violence that has been taking place across the country. We stand with other unions calling for an end to violence and intimidation and for perpetrators to be brought to justice

Proud to bring together unions and business leaders today to kick start a new era of partnership. Our plan to Make Work Pay will boost growth and create better working conditions for all.
