Absolutely scandalous - a member has been SACKED for organising a Christmas meal, completely within the law, for lonely residents at her care home. What a disgrace #FirstPort in #Wiltshire are! gmb-southern.org.uk/news/gmb-conde…

Supported living residents at Regal Court, Trowbridge held a socially distanced protest today against the outrageous sacking of a GMB member, all because she cooked lonely residents a Christmas dinner. GMB and the residents call on FirstPort to immediately reinstate the member.

Surprised to be told by NS&I nsandi that their security call back feature doesn't work with newer Samsung Mobile phones, and the only solutions they could offer were either closing my account or getting a new phone. Very poor service.

According to NS&I the call back security feature for nsandi logins is blocked by in built spam call protection on newer Samsung Mobile phones. NS&I offer no solution and advised me to get a different phone!

What is so frustrating dealing with NS&I is that the staff seem to have been given a script to deny that nsandi is responsible for bugs clearly at their end. Instead they blame Samsung Mobile and Vodafone Group for the fact their security call back feature doesn't work.

What is hard to understand about NS&I is that they won't accept that a bug which prevents their security call back from working with Samsung Mobile AND when using the hash key on Vodafone Group network from an iPhone is nsandi 's responsibility.

Clearly when nsandi designed the security call back feature as part of their online login, they should have taken responsibility that it work with common equipment like Samsung Mobile and networks like Vodafone Group. Astounded to be told by NS&I the problem not their end

I see nsandi website closed for essential maintenance this weekend. Hopefully they are fixing the bug where their secure call back doesn't work with Samsung Mobile or Vodafone Group. Hopeless customer service from NS&I who wont accept NS&I responsibility

Actual picture of NS&I being asked why their secure call back feature for online login doesn't work with Samsung Mobile phones, and doesn't accept the hash key on Vodafone Group network. Hopeless customer service.

Just successfully logged in to online banking with Unity Trust Bank which included a security phone call to my Samsung Mobile. According to NS&I this is impossible! nsandi take no responsibility, blaming Samsung Mobile for the failure of nsandi 's own software.

So NatWest NatWest Group have implemented the most absolutely useless facial recognition feature on their app. Just tried it and despite moving to different lighting/ backgrounds, it took more than 10 minutes for it to recognise my face. Shouldn't launch a feature so buggy.

Important video about why GMB is stood outside of Swindon #Amazon now. Amazon workers deserve better than the 35p pay rise they have been offered. If you work for Amazon or know anyone who does encourage them to join GMB today gmb.org.uk/join-gmb

Pay cuts to our members in Wiltshire Council #WiltshireTogether are not acceptable to our members when 5 executives in there are paid more than the Prime Minister. That's what our David McMullen thinks of the proposed key worker pay cuts!
