By signing the petition we can show  South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust that they should be re-banding our lone working community staff

Tees Valley Combined Authority has invested £138 million into the airport since purchasing it in 2019 including acquisition costs, equity investment, loans and grants.  Tees Valley Combined Authority owns 75% of the Airport.   Public investment should lead to public benefit for the people of Teesside, starting with their pay! GMB has negotiated in good faith. Management has stalled, dismissed, and disrespected the very people who keep Teesside Airport alive. Stand with Teesside Airport Workers and Sign Our Petition. Let’s send a message: Fair pay is not optional. It’s a right. Our Airport Our Pay

I’ve had enough of Nigel Farage pretending he speaks for industrial workers like me. He doesn’t speak for me. And I know he doesn’t speak for you either. If you work in industry—cars, steel, ceramics, logistics, construction, energy, whatever—add your name. If we hit our signature target, we’ll publish an open letter in the media with one clear message: “Farage doesn’t speak for us. We’re industrial workers. We’re proud of Britain and we’re proud of our industries. We don’t need culture wars—we need investment. We need modern car plants, world-class potteries, and future-proofed steelworks. Reform UK isn’t offering that. They want to drag us backwards. Farage’s friendship with Trump and the corporate elite says it all: He’s not on our side. He’s an enemy of the working class.” Stand up for real workers. Sign the petition.

In 2024-25, the Musicians’ Union and Council of Music Makers took part in Government-convened negotiations with major labels for fair pay and contract terms.   Despite intense Government pressure, the major labels refused to pay a greater share of streaming revenue to creators.    We urge MPs to change the law to introduce fair payments for music makers from music streaming, and other measures to finally fix streaming.

Many staff in Harrow Council use their Flexitime to improve their work/life balance. Having a good work/life balance is proven to improve efficiency and have a happier workforce. Many council employees are dealing with high workloads, low resources, and stress on the job. One simple thing that makes a lot of employees work lives easier (and increases both recruitment and retention) is the ability to use Flexitime. Taking this away without consultation is not only unfair, but will seriously detriment many employees. This is important to staff as they use Flexitime to have an decent work/life balance whilst many other elements working in local government, such as low pay & high workloads, remain unsolved.  GMB say NO to Harrow Council taking away Flexitime.

Without Contact Centre Educators there would be no people trained and ready to take our emergency calls.  North West Ambulance Service recognised that there was a recruitment and retention issue by introducing the additional payment to the educators role; the recruitment and retention issues haven't gone away and neither should the payment.

We need to show Mr. Hutton just how many of us are demanding a better deal. Standing up for ourselves is the only way we'll get the respect and pay we deserve.  Donate to the strike fund here: https://support-mitie-workers-at-sellafield.raiselysite.com/

Despite their vital contribution, Mitie’s latest offer falls well short: • A below-inflation 3.5% pay rise • An extra day’s holiday only for those on 20 days leave leaving many workers excluded • Sick pay based on managerial discretion, not guaranteed Meanwhile: • Mitie earned £5.09 billion in revenue • Took home £234 million in profit • Paid its CEO a staggering £14.7 million — 575 times more than the average Mitie worker “No one wants to strike, but we’ve been left with no alternative. Mitie must recognise the value of our work and the reality of our bills.” - Mark Kirkbride, GMB Workplace Representative. This is about more than pay it’s about respect, security, and justice for those doing essential frontline work. 

As the climate crisis heats up, so do our buses! New electric buses are overheating and breaking, drivers are taking ill from heat exhaustion, and passengers are suffocating on buses with no cooling measures. Mayor Brabin has the power to order new climate adapted buses and shelters, and negotiate with bus companies to keep West Yorkshire’s bus drivers safe during heatwaves.  She had the opportunity to write mandatory conditions into the new bus franchising contracts to force bus operators to introduce effective aircon, shaded bus shelters, more staff and rest breaks, and two sets of doors on buses to keep passengers and drivers safer. But we don’t know if she did - because the franchising contracts have so far been kept secret. Join the Better Buses for West Yorkshire campaign  in demanding she take action now, and cool our buses down!

This will make a real difference to millions of women and shows what can be done when pension schemes take this issue seriously.  We are calling on all other public sector pension schemes- covering 2.5 million more women- to take the same positive steps.  The government says it wants to close the Gender Pension Gap- this is a chance to prove it by acting to help public sector workers and setting an example to the private sector. Government should be encouraging all schemes to adopt these changes.  Add your voice to put pressure on the public sector pension schemes to act.
