Thoughts with the community, pupils, and all school workforce in Ammanford today.

No one should fear being assaulted when they go to work.

No pupil should be in fear when entering into any education setting.

James Watt, CEO of Brewdog, is so punk he..

•⁠ ⁠attended Nigel Farage's 60th birthday party.
•⁠ ⁠scrapped paying staff the real living wage.

Which is why he's our Worst Employer of the Month!

Today, we gathered to mark International Workers Memorial Day that falls this Sunday.

Every year, too many workers die preventable deaths because their safety wasn't considered a priority.

We remember the dead, fight for the living, and fight for safer workplaces for all ✊

It's getting genuinely horrifying and unbearable to witness the direction that rhetoric and policy on disability is heading in the UK right now.

Disabled people need solidarity and support more than ever.

A major step for trade unions and care staff in Wales, which will lead to improvement in living standards and value placed upon care workers.
If you work in the care sector and you're not yet a member, join a union.👏 👇

AI is rapidly transforming our society and world of work, yet there's no AI related laws in place in the UK, nor any current plans to legislate soon. 
Urgent action is needed to ensure that people are protected from the risks and harms of AI-powered decisions so we all benefit.👇

Supporting Welsh language rights in the workplace is a key part of unions’ beliefs in fair work, equality, and social justice. In addition to Cynnig Cymraeg, which includes launching a bilingual telephone answering service, we’ve established Fforwm y Gymraeg.

Eid Mubarak to all celebrating. A difficult time for many reasons, inc our continued anguish and worry about those suffering in Sudan, Congo, Palestine and more, living in fear, hunger and destitution. This year my zakat - charity goes to Medical Aid for Palestinians. Give what you can. 🙏❤️

Our General Secretary Shavanah Taj addresses the Cardiff Stand Up to Racism rally.

'Wales must always be a Nation of Sanctuary that offers a welcome and hope to those who need it.

Vaughan will be the first Black leader of any European nation. In a week where we’ve seen that racists are bankrolling the Conservative Party, we should be proud of this landmark.

It’s time to come together across the labour movement to kick out the failing UK Government. (2/2)

Congratulations to Vaughan Gething on his election as the new leader of Welsh Labour.

Vaughan has strong roots in Wales’s trade union movement. His manifesto set out a clear pro-worker agenda and we’re looking forward to working alongside him to deliver it. (1/2)

Ministers must ensure civil servants aren’t conflicted between Civil Service Code obligations & ministerial instructions, yet this is where the Rwanda Bill puts civil servants.
Dave Penman writes to the Home Secretary & Minister for the Cabinet Office stating this must be resolved

Too many people to mention by name but great to be among likeminded female trade unionists who are doing so much within the movement and beyond.

Inspiring to hear the stories of so many who have overcome so much to champion fairness, equality and women’s rights ✊🏻

No it is not rudness. It is deep-seated RACISM the fact that you want to hate ALL Black women is the very definition of prejudice and racism.

Calling for an MP to be shot and starved is sick, dangerous and shows a worrying level of violence.
