Public support for the #BrumBinStrike workers was rock solid at Durham Miners Gala this weekend. We spoke to bin workers and local authority workers from around the country who are worried their own employers might try the same slash-and-burn austerity cuts. All councils are

More support for the #BrumBinStrike from the Big Meeting in #Durham this weekend. Workers around the country can see what's going on. The Labour Party using fire-and-rehire tactics to attack workers' pay is not what anyone voted for. And the example set by striking #Birmingham bin

Striking #Birmingham bin worker Danny nails it at our Policy Conference last week. Bham City Council and unelected commissioners controlled by Angela Rayner are forcing austerity cuts on our members to fix a financial mess the council created. Quite reasonably, Unite the union: join a union

Exactly right from Mish Rahman about the #BrumBinStrike 🎯 A The Labour Party council using fire-and-rehire to slash wages is just Tory austerity Mk.2, and makes a mockery of Angela Rayner's promises to strengthen workers' rights. And Emily Darlington MP's response "I don't know the details"

Sorry, but ignorance is no defence Emily Darlington MP – even though we assume you follow current affairs as an MP and are almost certainly aware of the situation in Birmingham. But let us remind you of the basics... •A 'Bankrupt' council - £3.4Bn of the debt owned by the The Labour Party

The situation at Bham City Council is essentially #FireAndRehire - it makes a mockery of the Employment Relations Act promises. Angela Rayner is in charge of the commissioners who are blocking the deal that would end this dispute. Unite For A Workers' Economy

Tom White Ltd is a waste company, wholly owned by @uklabour-run Coventry City Council, which was used extensively in 2022 to break the Coventry bin strike. The same mercenary company is now being used by @Uklabour-run Bham City Council to break the #BrumBinStrike. But despite this, it

Well this didn’t age well, did it? “A trade union is about saying I’ve got your back and you’ve got mine”. That should be a solid principle, not a soundbite - ask the striking Birmingham bin workers what they think of Angela Rayner having their back. x.com/angelarayner/s…

There’s plenty of wealth in this country, it’s just in the hands of the privileged few. We’re the 6th richest country in the world - it’s time some of it was shared around a little more. It’s time to #TaxTheRich

#BrumBinStrike: Tom Whites Scab Waste Services blocked in again this morning in Coventry. Mass picket of all depots Friday July 25, 6am: Atlas Depot, B11 2AS Lifford Lane Depot, B30 3JJ Perry Barr Depot, B42 2TU Veolia Incinerator, B11 2BA Ryton Site (Coventry), CV8 3EJ

😡 Birmingham residents are tuning away from Labour in droves - angry at a heartless council, backed by the government, treating its workers & residents appallingly. If Labour wants to win people back, it need to decide whose side it's on & do what's right by its bin workers!

Read all about it! Hot off the presses last week, here’s Unite For A Workers Economy special edition newspaper, Unite Activist News digital edition. With loads of great features, give it a read and let us know what you think. heyzine.com/flip-book/b1f1…

Here’s why we need a change on how wealth is taxed. There’s a class war going on here - the poor are getting clobbered while the rich and the super rich are coining it in. It’s time for change - it’s time for a Wealth Tax. #TaxTheRich

Birmingham binworkers strike: Tom Whites Scab Operation in Coventry blocked for the second time this week. Unfortunately police helped the scabs get out. #BrumBinStrike

This scandal should be front page news. HMRC does not know how many billionaires are paying tax in the UK, or how much tax the super-rich are avoiding. When government is cutting from the poorest in our society, how can this be right? #TaxTheRich

6 months into the Birmingham bin strike. Workers are staying strong and the community is united behind them ✊ The public see straight through Labour's decision to pull out of talks. Just this week hundreds of households have shown their support in Liam Byrne MP's constituency.

These are MPs who have taken a principled stand on issues that matter to their constituents. In all three cases, the government eventually changed policy - an admission that they were right all along. Brian Leishman has taken a stand for workers’ livelihoods at Grangemouth

These are ordinary working people who are being made to pay for Bham City Council’s failings, its debts and its desire to cut the wage bill. It is #FireAndRehire in any other name. #Birmingham birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…

In this explosive and exclusive interview with Birmingham Live Sharon Graham evidences what was suspected all along; the unelected & expensive, part time commissioners who have been kept in place by Angela Rayner are blocking a deal which would allow normality to return to
