Fantastic to be with Brendan, Martina and the @hinkleypointc team, and to launch GMB’s campaign for inclusive PPE.
There are 15,000 workers on site building our clean energy future.
Great to have Bylor and EDF commit to provide the right PPE to keep our members safe at work.

It's not just unions - employer groups are calling for the Employment Rights Bill to pass NOW.
It's really, really, really time for the unelected Lords to get out of the way and pass the Bill. #stoptheblock

We did it. We have just introduced the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation.
Today our plans passed through parliament, and will soon become law.
This is a major victory for working people in every part of the country.

The Employment Rights Act is a new era for workers in this country.
The biggest step forward for workers rights’ in 50 years.
GMB members’ voices have been at the forefront of making this happen.
This is a huge moment to make work better.

📰 "Let us not waste a minute more – it is time to deliver." @AngelaRayner
After 14 years where workers' rights were undermined by the Tories, the Employment Rights Bill offers the change we need to make the world of work fairer.
The Bill returns to the Lords tomorrow. They are still holding it up - and it has to stop.
Labour fought for it, voters backed it. Let's get it done. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8r3…

📢 This Saturday, 22 Nov, is Equal Pay Day.
From today, women are effectively working for free compared to men — because discrimination still exists.
The “unexplained” gender pay gap is discrimination in valuing women’s work. GMB is fighting to end it.
✊ Equal pay now.

📜The Employment Rights Bill returns to the Lords today.
The #NewDeal for Working People was a Manifesto
commitment, and must be delivered in full. That means passing the Bill intact and ensuring it is implemented robustly.

Team Plymouth is central to the government’s renewal plan — and there’s no Team Plymouth without our GMB members at Devonport Dockyard.
Our reps joined the One Plymouth launch in Parliament & we’re ready to help deliver for communities across Plymouth, Devon and Cornwall ✊

Today is International Day of Care & Support 🧑⚕️❤️🩹.
Shocking stats: 69% get no help after reporting abuse, 30% face violence monthly, 2/3 are women.
Zero tolerance! Care workers deserve respect & safety—GMB is fighting for real change.
Stand with care staff! 🧡

We’re talking to members about pay, fairness & HC-One’s unjust sponsorship policy.
Loyal care workers deserve fair pay & recognition!

Today, we remember the 144 lives lost in the Aberfan disaster — 116 children and 28 adults.
A community forever changed, a loss beyond measure. Our thoughts are with the families and all those whose lives were touched by that tragedy. ❤️
