Outsourcing is a racket. It's time the Labour government kept their promise to deliver the ‘biggest wave of insourcing for a generation’.

What a night at Maritime House! 🇬🇧🤝🇨🇺 The 19th RMT Garden Party this week was a massive success. It was an honor to hear from @RMTunion General Secretary Eddie Dempsey and many other friends. Proud to stand together to demand an end to the blockade. 🇨🇺❤️ #CubaVive

@RMTunion leader & brilliant anti fascist Bob Crow was born #OTD in 1961. Greatly missed, he'd have been in the forefront of fighting the far right now. @AntiRacismDay

Many of the rights we take for granted today didn't simply appear. They were won through collective action and workplace organising. This highlight explores the history of trade unionism and why it still matters today. Full on Youtube: youtu.be/uhhChAwv3SU

Thank you to @catecclesstour MP for tabling important amendments on the need for all GBR fares and tickets to be available from ticket offices and for the Govt to ensure that any proposed changes to ticket offices in the future must be subject to a full public consultation.

The Railways Bill is the biggest reversal of rail privatisation in a generation. Great British Railways can end fragmentation and reinvest in services. And it can improve conditions for passengers and employees alike.

We have been campaigning for public ownership of rail for years. It’s wonderful to see that work, alongside those of the rail unions, recognised in parliament today. Thank you @switherdenMP for working with us. Our public services should work for us. Not private shareholders.

The government can’t be bringing train operations into public ownership, which is wonderful, yet allowing many jobs at train stations to be outsourced. The government must back @johnmcdonnellMP’s amendment to bring services in-house like they promised to do at the last election.

Thank you to @RachaelMaskell MP for explaining why the Government must ensure full protections for the staff employed by open access operators, and enable these staff to transfer into GBR in the future.

Thank you to @RachaelMaskell MP for tabling amendments to the Railways Bill which would make sure that GBR has a duty to protect staff from assaults at work #ActionAgainstAssaults

Thank you to @AndyMcDonaldMP for tabling important amendments to the Railways Bill which would ensure, in line with Labour’s Plan for Rail, that GBR is a single employer, creating a far simpler and efficient structure and treating staff as an asset, not as a cost to be cut.

Thanks to @johnmcdonnellMP for tabling an important amendment on the need for GBR to deliver on the Govt’s pledge to oversee the biggest wave of insourcing in a generation and bring outsourced workers in jobs such as cleaning, catering, security and working on the rail infrastructure in-house to GBR
