Cuts to social care do not "save money" - they simply move the cost elsewhere, often into overstretched NHS services. Keeping care in public hands, with the investment it needs, is the safest and most cost-effective solution for LCC and what the residents want. It can't be left to the likes of Dalton to decide the future of care services in Lancashire.  Will you support these care workers taking action to fight for their residents and keep their homes open?

We are calling on our members and the wider public to support this petition. These cuts will impact service delivery and could result in increased attendance times and reduced resilience, further causing the normal response to be diminished.

Edinburgh Napier University has moved forward with up to 70 redundancies relating to academic and academic related staff, which the Educational Institute of Scotland believe will have an adverse impact on the academic quality and coverage which may have a negative impact on the quality of education students would receive. The Staff cuts would also place additional burdens on an already stretched workforce at Edinburgh Napier University.   The EIS University Lecturers Association condemns the failure of the university to provide a guarantee of no compulsory redundancies. Management at ENU have refused to take this critical step, instead continuing with plans that place dedicated, long serving and hard-working staff at risk. These job cuts are short-sighted and will only increase the workload on remaining staff, leading to a decline in course provision and a diminished student experience. The EIS reiterates its call for the university to halt their cuts agenda and prioritise the well-being of their staff and students using the financial reserves that both universities have stashed away. We are also aware that the university are not, according to their published finances, in financial crisis. They have in fact got a very healthy reserve. We also do not believe that the process has been transparent, fair, or proper.

We should be investing in our public service not cutting, reducing or dissolving them.  

The Welsh and UK governments need to protect Welsh Industry, and: • Invest in our industries and cut electricity prices so we can compete with clean, modern technology • Stop trade undercutting our industries, whether Trump’s ungodly tariffs or cheap imports • Make sure our home-grown industries supply UK infrastructure and procurement • Listen to us! Industries are changing and workers know best how to handle change This is more urgent than ever because there is a big new threat to Welsh industrial jobs  and his name is Nigel Farage. He and his billionaire buddies will take a wrecking ball to Welsh industry. Reform is the party of slash and burn economics. Nigel Farage wants to bring Thatcherism on steroids to Wales. He’s promised to slash public investment – investment that our industries desperately need. Why are jobs at risk in my factory? Because of Farage’s buddy Trump and his tariffs. Farage doesn't speak for us – he’s fighting for his mate Trump, for hedge funds and speculators who profit from insecurity. Reform want to deregulate, invite in the billionaires and kick out trade unions. Farage would love to kill off workers’ rights. What needs to happen now? I’m proud of Wales. I’m proud of our industries.  It’s time for us to take our future into our own hands. Let’s stop site closures and futureproof our workplaces.  Let’s protect Welsh industry and secure decent jobs for the next generation. To do that, we need to Stop Reform's threat to industry. And we need to push Westminster and the Senedd to deliver on investment, trade, procurement and worker voice. If you work in Welsh industry and want to secure our jobs for the future: join the fight to Save Welsh Industry and sign this petition. -- Pam mae hyn yn bwysig nawr? Mae angen i Lywodraeth Cymru a Llywodraeth y DU ddiogelu diwydiant Cymru drwy wneud y canlynol: • Buddsoddi yn ein diwydiannau a gostwng prisiau trydan er mwyn i ni allu cystadlu drwy ddefnyddio technoleg glân a modern. • Atal cwmnïau tramor rhag ceisio cwtogi prisiau a thanseilio ein diwydiannau, boed hynny drwy dariffau cythreulig Trump neu fewnforio cynnyrch rhad. • Sicrhau bod ein diwydiannau cynhenid yn cyflenwi gofynion seilwaith a chaffael yn y DU. • Gwrando arnom ni! Mae diwydiannau'n newid a gweithwyr sy’n gwybod orau sut i ddelio â newid Mae angen gwneud hyn ar fyrder oherwydd bod bygythiad mawr newydd ar y gorwel i swyddi diwydiannol yng Nghymru, a’i enw yw Nigel Farage. Mae Farage yn grediniol y gall ennill etholiad y Senedd ym mis Mai. Bydd ef a'i gyfeillion cyfoethog yn dinistrio diwydiant Cymru. Mae Reform yn blaid sy’n arddel economeg chwalu a chwerthin. Mae Nigel Farage eisiau cyflwyno Thatcheriaeth ar steroids i Gymru. Mae wedi addo tocio buddsoddiad cyhoeddus i’r bôn - ond mae hwn yn fuddsoddiad sydd wir ei angen ar ein diwydiannau.  Pam ma swyddi mewn perygl yn fy ffatri? Oherwydd un o gyfeillion pennaf Farage, sef Trump a'i dariffau. Dydy Farage ddim yn siarad drosom ni - ei flaenoriaethau ef yw ei ffrind mawr Trump, y cronfeydd buddsoddi arian, a hapfasnachwyr sy'n elwa o ansicrwydd. Bydd Reform yn dadreoleiddio, yn agor y drws i’r biliwnyddion, ac yn cael gwared ar undebau llafur. Os bydd Farage yn dod i rym, gallwch ddweud ffarwel wrth hawliau gweithwyr. Beth sydd angen digwydd nawr? Dw i'n falch o Gymru. Dwi’n falch o’n diwydiannau.  Mae'n bryd i ni gymryd ein dyfodol i’n dwylo ein hunain. Gadewch i ni stopio safleoedd rhag cau a diogelu ein gweithleoedd at y dyfodol.  Gadewch i ni ddiogelu diwydiant Cymru a sicrhau swyddi teilwng i'r genhedlaeth nesaf. I wneud hynny, mae angen inni atal Reform rhag dod i rym yng Nghymru. Ac mae angen i ni bwyso ar San Steffan a'r Senedd i gyflawni - o ran buddsoddi, masnach, caffael a llais y gweithiwr. Os ydych chi'n gweithio yn niwydiant Cymru ac eisiau sicrhau ein swyddi ar gyfer y dyfodol: ymunwch â’r frwydr i Achub Diwydiant Cymru a llofnodi'r ddeiseb hon.

Dumfries and Galloway is consulting the public on a range of proposals. In the past 16 years, the Council has cut £13 million from its budget and is now seeking to cut a further £35 million in the next three years. Most of these cuts are aimed at the Education Department. Proposals include consultation on the closure of 58 nursery, primary and secondary schools, axing the instrumental music service, and cuts to essential education workers. Years of under-resourcing have already created workload, pupil equity, violence and aggression issues that are unsustainable in schools. Over 40% of learners now have some form of additional support need. The introduction of the presumption of mainstreaming and the failure to appropriately resource this in schools has led to an increase in violence and aggression against teachers and between pupils. If realised, the recent budget cuts would have ramifications for the quality of education in Dumfries and Galloway and will hit some of the poorest children, the hardest. We are seriously concerned about the potential for the widening of the poverty-related attainment gap in Dumfries and Galloway.

Britain’s buses are old, inaccessible and unsafe. Except in London. Why? London buses have two or three sets of doors to make getting on and off really quick, safe, and accessible for everyone. If you’re a disabled user or parent with a buggy, getting on the bus, and finding space to sit, can often be impossible.  We believe buses can be made more accessible with these changes: • two sets of doors for boarding/alighting • Separate dedicated places for wheelchair users and parents with buggies • Eye level displays for wheelchair users and bell buttons within easy access • Seats at bus stops to provide a rest space for passengers who struggle to stand • Automatic boarding ramps and back up manual ramps if not working • Reinstating bus conductors • A permanent board of representative passengers and user groups to co-design all aspects of bus design and the bus reform process with the Mayor London buses aren’t this bad, and neither are buses across the rest of the world. Why are we stuck with such poor quality buses? If London can do it, it’s time we got the first class buses we deserve.

Wales has the largest private sector delivery of care of the devolved nations. The ongoing profiteering from social care is the barrier to the improved care our nation deserves.  Billions of pounds of public money are stripped from Welsh care by private equity groups and property speculation on care homes.  Meanwhile, care workers continue to struggle to make ends meet with low pay and poor conditions, and those needing care are faced with a complex and fragile care system.  Care workers must be properly rewarded if we are to attract the thousands of workers we need to make care work.  And as citizens, we should expect public money to be spent on services and staff, not on lining the pockets of billionaires. Social care should serve people, not profit margins. Sign this petition to support our call on the next Welsh Government to create a National Care Service for Wales to ensure a high-quality, resilient service that prioritises the need of citizens in Wales.   

If Northumbria does this, other universities will too.  These cuts will harm thousands of people, their students, families, and their local communities now and into the future.

EIS members at Lenzie Academy have identified serious health and safety concerns in the school, presenting a risk to pupils and staff.  These include: • Major roof leaks and water ingress • Water near electrics • Asbestos-related risks • Mould and damp • Heating failures (rooms too cold / too hot) • Broken fire doors • A non-working secure entry system • Damaged flooring causing trip hazards • General disrepair A new school is planned — but not until at least 2029. Pupils need a safe building now. What teaching staff want • Make the building safe • Fix urgent risks quickly • Share clear timelines • Keep staff and pupils protected EIS members at Lenzie Academy are in dispute with East Dunbartonshire Council over their employer's failure to meaningfully consult with union representatives regarding serious health and safety concerns. In a recent consultative ballot, EIS members at Lenzie Academy voted 95% Yes to taking industrial action in pursuit of improved safety.

This is about whether people live or die when the worst happens. These plans would slash Oxfordshire’s guaranteed night-time fire cover from seven to five fire engines, close local stations, remove a specialist rescue vehicle and force firefighters onto unsafe 12-hour shifts. That means slower response times, weaker back-up – and more lives, homes and businesses lost.   The cuts hit the people who most need protecting: children, older people, disabled people, low-income families in flats and HMOs, and rural towns and villages already a long way from help. Night-time fires, road traffic collisions and floods are exactly when you need more cover, not less – but this plan strips it away and hides the damage behind county-wide averages.    If we don’t stop this, Oxfordshire will be left with a brittle, hollowed-out fire and rescue service: exhausted crews on overlong shifts, families in Kidlington losing their homes, retained stations closed instead of supported, and experienced firefighters leaving for good. Once stations, fire engines and skills are gone, they are incredibly hard and expensive to get back.

We're now on strike, this has an impact on the whole school community. The Trust has the power to resolve this, your support could bring them back to the table with an offer to end this dispute.
