What’s worst is the IWGB branch rep want to lecture us on solidarity and teach us how to organises when they know ADCU is much bigger than the whole of IWGB union and unlike IWGB is solely funded by members.

Not shocked at all, seen first hand how IWGB wasted their members valuable resources including staffs paid time on litigations and harassing other workers and (as IWGB call it) “rival” unions.

Because ADCU spent first two years of existence being sued by the IWGB, we've had to be super conservative w cash just to survive. ADCU has anyway always been member rather than bureaucrat controlled & this has served us well. Cautionary tale here for all. Wishing UVW staff well.

We had a very productive AGM today where our 7,000+ members are represented. As well as strengthening governance we also passed importance motions covering Palestine, the Climate Emergency, Jammu & Kashmir and the IWGB. We'll publish these public resolutions in due course.

Habib Afsar chair for Birmingham Branch tonight at another packed local ADCU meeting. Members here had enough with @veezugroup for failing to comply with law on worker rights and councils failure to enforce against rogue operators.

Sorry but just no! The ITF MOU doesn't have legitimacy, it doesn't give gig workers or Uber drivers a voice - it does the opposite - and this deal is an absolute disgrace. Please do better. This undermines workers across Europe fighting for better, fighting for what they deserve.

Congratulations to @btb_abvv for its game changing agreement giving @Uber drivers in Belgium union protection, a first in continental Europe. The ITF’s MoU continues to give gig workers a voice in their industry. politico.eu/article/uber-rec…

"Shut up and go away !" (ferme là et va-t'en). Voilà comment s'adresse @skyttedal, eurodéputée suédoise PPE, à un chauffeur VTC venu prendre la parole cette semaine dans une réunion organisée au Parlement européen entre la droite et les lobbys des plateformes. ⤵️

Wow! We just closed another amazing month of member growth in September w membership up 85% over the last 12 months. Its just so darn confusing though because Liz Truss says unions are part of the anti-growth coalition but we are all about the growth!

Hugely important convening at EU Parliament organised by @Left_EU. All European gig worker unions are together in one room to demand the Parliament quickly pass the EU Platform Worker Directive. As largest gig economy union in the UK we are here to support European comrades.

@AbduraHadi speaking at the EU urged the need to act urgently to end exploitation. "We workers all over the world put all our hope in the draft legalisations hoping it going to end exploitation". #StopUberisation

Today's protest is not only for Guillermo, it is to demonstrate the injustice of outsourcing, the law with which he was fired only applies to workers who are not directly employed and is used by companies to fire any worker who asks for their rights. If we live in a democracy,

Solidarity @caiwuunion your doing brilliant work as a dedicated union and representing cleaners against big corporations and always putting members first.

Solidarity with @Ernesto78244201⁩. Your fight is our fight. We stand with you. Facebook Clean Up Your Act! #Justice4Cleaners
You have to hand it to @caiwuunion & @AmnestyUK, they know how to demo. Wouldn't it be easier for @Meta to just pay the cleaners in their scrumptious London offices a fair and dignified wage?

Important thread from @einsteindurango about bullying, harassment, abuse and a democratic deficit at the @IWGBUnion.

In the IWGB, when all these upper and middle class people came in, most of them doctors who had never worked in their lives, they started attacking the decisions that came from the workers of the people who had really and historically founded the union.

UPHD was formed in 2015. In 2017 we decided to affiliate w the IWGB. In 2019, we together with the foster care worker branch, raised serious concerns about corruption, mismanagement and failure to respect democracy. Within 6 months, the leaders of both branches were attacked 2/

Yes, I can confirm this. One of the worst times of my life, made me very ill at the time, both physically and mentally.
