What’s happening at the University of Brighton?
@BrightonUCU has been told the university wants to cancel and renegotiate all of their agreements - including the critical recognition agreement that governs how the branch negotiates with the university.
Workers deserve representation. They deserve unions. And they deserve certainty about their futures.
The team on No Shortcuts about why this is a frightening development.

"Conditions in these jails are some of the worst, with two men often crammed into tiny cells originally designed for one"
Read this appalling report from His Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons: "Fit for purpose or falling apart?"
poauk.org.uk/media/2971/fit-…
The state of our prisons is a national disgrace.
Prison Officers have been raising the condition of our prisons for decades - when will we see action to address the crisis in the UK's jails?
Outsourcing prison maintenance has been a disaster; it should be brought back in-house.

Unite is campaigning for a care service that puts an end to the rank profiteering happening across the UK, and establishes a compassionate, accessible, caring system that is fully funded through progressive taxation – not by picking the pockets of pensioners.
The government’s proposed free personal care service, funded by pension cuts, will do nothing to stop private profiteers, nor provide a true National Care Service for those who require dementia or residential care.
David’s mum deserved better and so does everyone else.
Sadly, his story is not unique. Please like and share this video to make more people aware of what is going on in care homes up and down the country.

#OnThisDay 1984. Labour leader Neil Kinnock says he is too busy to speak at a series of rallies in support of the #MinersStrike
In a letter to Arthur Scargill the Labour leader wrote he was “already fully committed to a series of longstanding engagements which cannot be broken.”

Another day and another bundle of evidence showing how L&Q fails tenants and residents.
Shame none of the authorities that are supposed to hold these landlords to account are intervening.
Shows the needs for tenants & residents to do it themselves!
SHAC Article: Failed by L&Q – The Need for Unity to Fix a Broken Housing System
Residents of Beam Park call for unity amongst tenants and residents to hold one of the biggest UK landlords to account.
It is not one single issue, but a whole series of broken promises and agreements that affect almost everyone living in one of their properties.
This landlord has a long list of misdemeanors.

Always a great pleasure to explore - and expose - different aspects of the housing sector with Ben. Hopefully we're on the road to justice though.
Housing Sector Short — Who actually speaks for residents?
We hear the corporate promises, see the annual reports and read the publicity. But where do residents’ own experiences fit into that picture?

From today, employers have a stronger legal duty to protect workers from harassment by customers, clients and members of the public 📣
That means sexual harassment, racial attacks and intimidation must be addressed in the workplace. If a third party harasses you at work, your employer could be held legally responsible if they haven’t taken all reasonable steps to prevent it.
Whether you work in hospitality, transport, healthcare, retail or any customer-facing role, abuse and harassment are not just 'part of the job'.
Employers must take action to prevent it, protect their workers and make sure everyone can do their job safely.
Workers deserve respect, dignity and safety at work. No exceptions.
