Nearly 2 years after @GMBCampaigns campaigned for mobile buildings so kids and staff remain on site. Funding has now been secured for a new build.
Thank you to @GlindonMary Labourâs Wallsend MP for her persistence in securing the funding.

Falling pupil numbers shouldnât mean job losses for school support staff.
Funding exists to help schools manage shortâterm drops, cuts are not inevitable.

SeAH Wind workers arenât asking for more, just fairness.
Shift allowances at industry standard.
A green future must also be a fair one. @GMBCampaigns @TeessideLive @itvtynetees

SeAH Wind took public millions promising good jobs.
Now they want to impose weekend & night shifts with below-industry shift allowances.
This isnât greed â itâs fairness.
If you take our time and our weekends, you PAY for it.

The idea that workers earning ÂŁ60k âhave it easyâ needs challenging. That figure often comes with nights, weekends & sacrifices. The dispute at SEAH isnât about greed, itâs about defending shift pay & protecting standards for future generations @GMBCampaigns #justtransition

Seah Wind seems to think the âjust transitionâ means a race to the bottom. Our members working shifts deserve industry standard allowances â not cuts. Public money backed this project. Fair pay is not optional. #JustTransition #FairPay #GreenJobs #StandWithWorkers @GMBCampaigns

Walk out starts on Wednesday [15 October] and every Wednesday for six weeks.
Workers angry over imposed shift allowances and a 3.1 per cent pay offer that's both below inflation and industry standards đ¤

I seem to have hit the age when a âfallâ becomes something.
Dislocated my shoulder today.
Great care from @NorthumbriaNHS at Cramlington Hospital to manipulate it back into place.

The North East powered Britain once through our graft in the yards, pits and factories.
Now the Reform Party, ex-Tories in new jackets, want to drag us backwards. Thousands of green jobs would be lost.
Dont let the same people who wrecked our past do it again.

The school support staff negotiating body will finally bring the recognition vital workers deserve.
These - mostly women - workers are crucial to delivering our children's education.
Labour will reinstate the SSSNB đ #TUC25

Many GMB members at @TeesAirport havenât had a pay rise in 2 years.
The airport is 75% owned by @TeesValleyCA â thatâs the people of Teesside.
If public money can fund the airport, it should also fund fair pay for the people who keep it running. #ourairportourpay

Congratulations to the workforce and @GMB_union on gaining recognition.
Union recognition is the cornerstone of well-paid, secure work with good employment rights.
Under the Employment Rights Bill Labour is making this easier.
