Always good to have a Manchester theme at #LabourConference24, and here's Bev Craig to give the Local Government Report. There's so much good practice to share from our excellent councils and partnership with a Labour Government should allow us to transform everyone's lives.

How great at #LabourConference24 to hear a Secretary of Business and Trade laud the value of workers and their rights in building our economy. Barnstorming speech from Jonathan Reynolds.

Excellent speech at #LabourConference24 from Louise Haigh on sweeping away the remnants of Thatcherism in order to provide the public transport that the country wants and needs.

Nice to see one of the party's hardest working campaigners speaking at #LabourConference24. Nicely done Ollie Probert-Hill.

Keeping #LabourConference24 fully awake is Ed Miliband's speech. Telling us of The Labour Party's plans to put us at the front of the fight against climate change.

Final morning at #LabourConference24, final presentation of the CAC Report from Lynne. No questions this morning so we can charge ahead with business.

🎉 Big news! Labour’s Employment Rights Bill is in Parliament! 📜 It’s the first step in delivering the #NewDeal for Working People - the biggest uplift to workers’ rights in a generation. Add your name and show support! ✊ labourunions.org.uk/100days

UNISON Manchester members gathered at lunchtime today to mark the Workplace Day of Action for Palestine. UNISON North West #CeasefireNOW

A busy day today, networking with Labour🌹Unions comrades to continue the great work we do with The Labour Party in the North West. UNISON North West

I was pleased to catch up with our Manchester City Council trade union reps today including Cllr Jane Slater and Joint Secretary Carl Greatbatch to discuss workforce issues and areas for collaboration in the future- thanks for making the time #localgov #Manchester

A busy day today chairing UNISON North West's Labour Link forum. Delighted to start with a discussion of the Employment Rights Bill with Michael Wheeler MP, such an important collection of changes that the Labour Movement has been demanding for years.

Really enjoyed my morning talking with UNISON - UK's largest union activists about The Labour Party's Employment Rights Bill. This is a crucial part of our Government delivering our promise to #makeworkpay and I'm proud of this work.

A lovely morning to be out speaking to residents, letting them know what Manchester Labour 🐝 is up to and picking up any issues for Levenshulme Councillors to support people around. We're the only party who are out year round (rain or shine!) to talk to the electorate.

We are looking to hire a new organiser/caseworker to help support our representation and organising work. The role is a great opportunity for anyone wishing to get into trade union work and the closing date is Tuesday, 8 April. More details on our website: unisonmanchester.org/manchester-new…

There's still time to apply to come and work for us at UNISON Manchester in a job working alongside our other brilliant organiser and be involved in frontline organising in schools, local government, the airport, care work and FE. UNISON North West tuc.org.uk/jobs/organiser…

Join a union. We're going to be very busy supporting members against this disregard for employment law. Incidentally, even in the US, The NY Times reckoned that DOGE may end up costing as much in redundancy as it saves. No services and no savings. Right wing grifting at its best!

UNISON member? You've still got time to vote! But time is running out and you need to get straight on it. I've voted for all of the excellent candidates that my branch has nominated, and all of the other Time For Real Change candidates that I could!

UNISON Manchester was proud to show solidarity with others throughout the country today for the Workplace Day of Action for Palestine. UNISON stands with Palestinian workers who have had their lives decimated since the attacks of October 7th 2023. #Workplaces4Palestine

Excellent to see #educatingyorkshire back, almost makes me wish I was back working in a Yorkshire school. Though I can't believe they missed that Riley's behaviour was better in the morning after he self-medicated with coffee 🤔
