"Unite under my leadership will always back workers however long it takes."
As I have said on many occasions, the workers come first and we will always do everything in our power to ensure that our members are treated with dignity and respect.
The move made today by the leader of the council is a vindication of the bin workers’ struggle for a decent deal.
Over the last few months, there have been intense negotiations to get the blocked “ballpark” deal back on the table, so that our members could vote on it.
The reason why we are not yet at that stage is purely down to the vindictive interference of the government backed commissioners who have attempted to block the deal again and clearly overstepped their remit.
Their lack of both experience and industrial relations competence has been a major factor in this dispute, and their malevolent game playing has been an absolute disgrace.
The commissioner model is a licence for a few unelected individuals to print money and play games.
They have let the workers down, the people of Birmingham down and the council down.
I salute the fortitude of my members who have needlessly been forced to endure months of attacks and hardship to get us to this point.
I thank mayor Richard Parker and Lord Brendan Barber for the important roles both have played in getting us to this point.
And I thank the people of Birmingham for their continued patience and support. #birmingham #unitetheunion #jobspayconditions #workers #bins #deal

For six months, Village Hotel workers in Glasgow have been fighting for the real Living Wage for all, equal pay and union recognition.
While workers have been pushed onto the picket line, the company which is worth hundreds of millions has refused to even enter discussions on these reasonable demands.
Now, hospitality workers at the branch in Walsall Birmingham are balloting for strike action in a call for better pay and conditions.
These hospitality workers are standing up for fairness and dignity at work in one of the most precarious industries and it’s time Village Hotels started listening to its staff.
Solidarity ✊

Just the top 10 are worth over £261 billion!
A wealth tax on the super-rich could end the housing crisis, rebuild the NHS and invest in green jobs...

“National Grid is raking in huge profits while workers and communities struggle to pay ever-rising bills and manufacturing is made uncompetitive. Our broken energy system needs urgent reform, and that means renationalising the grid” @unitesharon 💬
As long as our energy infrastructure remains in private hands, key decisions will always put profit before people 🚨
Bringing the grid back into public ownership is the only way to stop this rampant profiteering ✊
