Under the leadership of our general secretary Sharon Graham, workers come first. Proud to support all striking workers ✊ #Solidarity #BirminghamBinStrike @unitesharon.bsky.social @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social

😟 Some Cos are telling Unite negotiators that the Iran war means they can’t afford a decent pay rise. 💰 But Unite research tells a different story. The 17 firms that have published results on the LSE made £25 bn in profit in just 3 months! More unitetheunion.org/fandf (p48)

😡 "It's absolutely terrible in our streets. Rubbish is piling up." Lindsey asks Shabana Mahmood MP why has this strike gone on so long? Time to sort the mess out & come up with a decent deal for the bin workers - so they don't lose £8k. Local councillors and MPs aren't losing £8k are they?

INVESTIGATE NOW! 🤯 Watch a manager from Job&Talent agency reporting conversations with senior managers at @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social about blacklisting agency workers. “The managers involved must be suspended & an independent investigation swiftly established” @unitesharon.bsky.social

🤯 You won't believe what this agency manager tells workers emptying bins in Birmingham! 😡 Is a @teamlabouruk.bsky.social council really saying they won't employ anyone who joins a picket line? Isn't that called blacklisting? Shouldn't Labour-run @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social be against that?

✊ It started with @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social taking £8k from WRCO workers, then they took £8k from drivers, now agency workers are being bullied & overworked & are joining the strike. 😡 Birmingham Council should stop this mess & negotiate now!

"It's always better for a president in a time of war to go to the public and explain what he's trying to do, to explain the goals, to explain why it's worth American treasure and lives to take this action, but it felt like a day one speech, not a day 32 speech," said @peterbakernyt.bsky.social.

Donald Trump says he doesn’t care about gas prices. Working families don’t have that luxury. They’re paying more at the pump, at the grocery store, and on nearly every delivery. And even if the Iran conflict ended tomorrow, the economic damage would take months to unwind.

Nonetheless, UK and France will advance plans for a mission to escort ships. Keir Starmer said more than a dozen countries had offered to supply vessels and equipment so far. #Hormuz
