My response to Keir Starmer's speech today at Trades Union Congress congress #TUC21 #MembersGS ⬇️

We must put an end to ‘fire and rehire’ - with Labour in opposition and a government reluctant to act, our response now must be industrial. No politician is coming to save us. Now is the time for trade unionism. #endfireandrehire #TUC21 leftfootforward.org/2021/09/applau…

No Westminster project is going to deliver pay rises for our members or defend them from bad bosses. That is our job. We need to do it ourselves. #TUC21 #fireandrehire news.sky.com/story/amp/shar…

Keir Starmer's #TUC21 speech:
- Labour would immediately increase the minimum wage to at least £10 an hour
- We would ensure a greater role for unions in boosting pay with more workers covered by collectively agreed deals
- Basic rights for all workers from day one in the job

Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity at work.

Great to hear Keir Starmer speak about Labour’s new deal for working people:

💥 Day one rights for all
💥 £10 minimum wage
💥 Decent sick pay
💥 A ban on zero-hours contracts

These policies would benefit millions! #TUC21

👏Trades Union Congress conference has just passed a motion to campaign for a three-day weekend and a four-day week.

The Trade Union movement was at the heart of the campaign to win us the weekend a century ago and the time has now come to lead the way on getting a three-day weekend. #TUC21

'Grenfell confirmed what we already knew: that cuts cost lives.'

I’m wondering if Keir Starmer addresses the #TUC21 will he be showing solidarity with those expelled, will he face expulsion for appearing on a platform with expelled members in the audience or do the same rules not apply to him as the rest of membership.

The announcement on social care this week did little for social care workers

Nothing on pay 💷
Nothing on recruiting staff 👩🏽

.Sharon Graham could not be clearer in today's address to Trades Union Congress. It's time to be bold, it's time to organise and it's time to build a movement to stop the cuts to pay and conditions! #TUC21
