Paul wants to know, why is Nigel Farage on the side of bosses over workers like him? @unitetheunion

FBU EC member for South East, Joe Weir moved a motion, on Zane's Law at TUC congress on Monday. The motion was unanimously backed. TUC affiliated unions have now joined us in the fight to get Zane's Law into legislation, for better landfill regulations to protect our communities. #TUC25

@TUC_LESE humbled to join this commemoration. Enforcement of laws is good. Partnership deals on labour standards are good. But if we want workers to be treated fairly at work and be safe every day, strong trade unions are essential. #Solidarity

Today, the 12th anniversary of Rana Plaza, we joined @labourlabel @waronwant @remakeourworld and other workers rights activists in the Rana Plaza Solidarity Collective to deliver an open letter to the Bangladesh government demanding labour reform. tbsnews.net/economy/rmg/uk-t…

If we put our hands in our pockets and our pockets are dry. If we are overworked. If we are bullied and harassed. Then we know that Mitie is not a good company to work for. Outsourced workers at St George's Hospital, Tooting, were protesting today. Solidarity. @GMB_union

Impossible not to notice the #HeartUnions stall organised by @ucu & @unisontheunion at South Essex College today for staff & students. Every worker needs a union card in their pocket but it's especially true for young workers. Joining a union can be a life-saver and a way of life

Proud to visit PCS picket line outside Met police in Sidcup today to express solidarity and learn more about the dispute. More than 300 members are opposing an unjustified forced return to the office. Standing shoulder to shoulder - workers are stronger. #HeartUnions @pcs_union

Happy #HeartUnions 2025 to all. And a massive 'shout out' to all workplace reps and trades councils activists who commit heart, time, effort and often many layers of clothing to celebrate what unions have won, are doing, and the future we plan to build. Solidarity from @TUC_LESE

On the 11th anniversary of the death of 7 year old Zane Gbangbola in 2014, the TUC renews its call for justice for Zane and answers for his family. We light our Jacob Epstein statue as a symbol of our solidarity with Zane’s parents Nicole and Kye.

@The_TUC are one of the many supporters of Zane's campaign for truth. Their sculpture by Sir Jacob Epstein; the striking pietà of a mother carrying her lifeless son is befitting of Zane's mum and for our times — needless death, then a fight for the dead, and acts of evidence and faith for the living. 11 years today since Zane was killed #ZanesLaw #TruthAboutZane #Forever7

It's super simple. A very rich man. Backing the politicians. That will do very good things. For very rich men.
