You see, this is partly why young workers don’t join trade unions. One little push and over they go. Time for new unions?

Labour is backtracking on ending the minimum wage youth rate and the TUC is giving them cover. There is no intention to abolish it. Another manifesto commitment being abandoned like "day one" rights for all workers leftfootforward.org/2026/03/…

Higher wages are the route to stronger growth and higher living standards, TUC says - Left Foot...

“The Government has rightly recognised that higher wages are the route to stronger growth and rising living standards."

Vive Lula, vive le Brésil de la dignité. Les sondages et les commentateurs experts bla bla prédisaient son échec certain. Il vient de gagner ! Il a battu l'extrême droite et les ingérences étrangères. La magnifique campagne de masse a rassemblé le peuple des favelas et les salariés dans les urnes contre la dictature de l'argent-roi et du mépris du peuple.

91% of UCU members who voted at INTO Manchester backed entering a formal dispute over pay and workloads. Despite making almost £9m in profit last year, management has frozen pay and cut almost half of teaching posts in two years. UCU and @unisontheunion members are demanding fair pay and manageable workloads. ucu.org.uk/article/14688/UCU…

UCU and Unison members at INTO Manchester declare dispute in pay and workload row

This is historic. The number of dockworkers set to go on strike on 30 October is expanding rapidly. Some 50 ports will now be shut down, not only on the Mediterranean, but also in Ireland, India and Mexico. The global movement against militarism and war is entering a new phase.

UCU have called a day of action in every University in the UK on Friday 20th November. We will be working with sister unions to ensure the biggest possible support for protests, rallies and events that will be held on this day. This is part of our fight to protect jobs and courses as well as build solidarity across the union. Materials will be dispatched to every branch. Start your local planning now.

Heroic speech and I was in the hall as a young man in total agreement with every word. 42 years ago and it’s been battle after battle since trying to reverse that defeat. #coalnotdole

Arthur Scargill’s plea for support at Labour Conference 1984 was in vain. Abandoned by Kinnock, the Labour Party and TUC, the miners eventually lost their year long dispute. The food kitchens in pit villages he referred to are now a feature of every town and village in Britain.
