Wakefield branch representatives enjoyed their day at the Durham Miners' Gala today alongside @JustTransitionW ✊ #DurhamMinersGala

The strikes this week were always avoidable. All Gillian Keegan had to do was: 1️⃣ Publish the STRB report and its recommendations 2️⃣ Get back to the table and have meaningful discussions with us. But we are still waiting... #DoYourJobGill #PayUp #SaveOurSchools
