This is huge. Amazon workers in GMB have forced a U-turn from one of the world's most powerful companies.

Today we’re launching our new video series - We Are GMB. We’re sharing the stories and voices of GMB Reps and activists from across the Midlands. They’re standing up for their colleagues. They’re fighting for working people. They’re making work better.

This week is #HeartUnions Week🧡 By campaigning together GMB members make work better 👏 Join our union 👉 gmb.org.uk/join-gmb

Make a pledge this #HeartUnions Week. If you are already a member, ask two of your colleagues if they are union members yet.

GMB members at Birmingham’s George Dixon Primary school are on strike today. They’re rejecting the flimsy case for academisation - for workers, pupils and the community. Are you with us Preet Kaur Gill MP?

Britain voted for change last year. Today's Employment Rights Bill delivers this. Had it been in place - GMB members at Amazon Coventry may well have won their fight for union recognition. And tens of thousands of care workers would not have had to risk working with COVID.

"Working people make Birmingham; now they’re again set to face the brunt of cuts to services." GMB Union, representing thousands of Birmingham City Council workers, has today responded to the Council’s budget announcements.

I am on the side of GMB members working in Amazon. That's why I am backing improvements to the government's Employment Rights Bill on both union recognition and access - to deliver on our plan to make work pay GMB Union GMB Midlands GMB Politics

The Employment Rights Bill will close the door on union-busting tactics that have no place in the UK. Proud to be Labour. Proud to be union. And I will be proud to vote for these amendments next week.

Fire & rehire ? Not on our watch. Knowles fire doors, part of Sentry Doors Ltd, are threatening nearly 100 workers with worse terms and conditions.

Amazon workers are demanding recognition of their union. But Amazon.co.uk bosses would rather union-bust than listen. Hear from Antonia Bance MP why the Employment Rights Bill will level the playing-field for workers ⬇️

Today GMB is in workplaces across the Midlands as part of our national campaign day. 🧵 We’ll be sharing campaign snaps through the day on this thread and Instagram ⬇️

DAY 5: Teaching Assistants' strike at Doxey Academy. The lowest paid staff at the school stand to lose up to £6k being forced onto term-time contracts. The CEO told them it was black & white - take the pay cut or leave. Good employers don't fire & rehire.

🛒 This #BlackFriday Meet Ceferina, Amazon worker and GMB Rep in the Midlands. 😰 Amazon is an employer that pushes its staff to the limit, whilst doing everything to stop them forming a union. ✊ This Black Friday remember, this is about dignity & the future of workers’ rights

Thank you to Taiwo Owatemi for meeting with GMB members at Amazon Coventry. They shared their reality of working in the midst of a TB outbreak. We’ve called out Amazon on its health and safety record, now company bosses must come clean about they intend to fix this.

This International Women’s Day we’re celebrating the wins secured by women across our union for pay justice 👏 #InternationalWomensDay
