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.

As the climate crisis heats up, so do our buses!  Mayor Brabin is currently negotiating the bus franchising contracts for West Yorkshire’s soon to arrive publicly controlled bus system. She has the opportunity to write mandatory conditions into these contracts that will 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. Join the Better Buses for West Yorkshire campaign  in demanding she take action now, and cool our buses down!

If implemented, these cuts will: • Increase response times across the service. • Increase already unachievable workloads for members within our Officer section. Our Officer members are already working above their capacities, and this will only get worse with fewer numbers. • Reduce resilience to incidents across the service with fewer fire engines to call upon. • Undermine public safety and endanger firefighters' lives by forcing them to operate with fewer or delayed resources. Firefighters are proud of the work we do within our communites. But we cannot protect the public properly if we are not given the tools and support to do so. Fewer firefighters and fewer fire engines mean slower responses—and in our line of work, seconds cost lives. These cuts are so broad reaching that they will impact all communities across Hampshire and Isle of Wight.

The Pallion Centre is already understaffed. Introducing this policy not only puts workers at risk but is also an invasion of user privacy.   We call on SUEZ to think again and put its people before profit.

🛡️ Why It Matters This campaign is about more than just equipment—it's about protecting our members in the workplace. Everyone deserves to come to work and return home safely. No one should be injured due to poor-quality, unsafe tools of the trade. 💬 Our Message to Asda We stand united in saying: Wellbeing must come before profit. Our warehouse and store members deserve better. 📢 Support the Petition Join us in demanding action, and sign our petition to show your support. Together, we can make our workplaces safer. 

As the school have not seemed to grasp the seriousness of the situation, we are asking for support from the community whose children attend St Luke's and the schools around the Isle of Dogs to make the school listen to our concerns! We want to make sure the staff that look after your children can come to work safely, and have the necessary resources to care for your children during the school day. We look after your children, who looks out for us?  Please sign this petition to support striking St Luke's staff, so we can safely get back to work in supporting your children, to make sure they get a safe and decent education! Please also show your support by attending the demonstrations outside the school on Tuesday 20th, Weds 21st, and Thursday 22nd May from 7:30-10am!

TFL employees need diabetic policies because diabetes can impact work performance and productivity, potentially leading to increased absenteeism. By understanding the needs of employees with diabetes, TFL can implement suitable  reasonable adjustments and support systems that allow them to manage their condition effectively and remain productive at work. This includes recognizing that diabetes is often considered a disability under the Equality Act 2010, requiring employers to make reasonable adjustments.

On 1 April, a huge portion of Wiltshire's health services (including 2,000 NHS trained staff) will be given away to a billionaire private equity investment firm, Twenty20 Capital.  This unprecedented transfer risks patient care, the breakup and disruption of services and the driving down of health workers pay and conditions.  The local Integrated Care Board, who awarded the contract to private healthcare firm HCRG (owned by billionaire private equity investment firm Twenty20 Capital) in October, did so quickly, quietly and without meeting several of their legal obligations. Please join us urgently in asking the relevant councils to formally request the Secretary of State pause this transfer to enable proper scrutiny and accountability to take place and avoid disruption to the public health service.

• Without ticket office staff we will no longer be able to secure the best fare for our journeys. • Unstaffed stations increase the risks of anti-social behaviour, and jeopardise the safety of women and vulnerable passengers. • Closing ticket offices early removes the support many people need, particularly those with disabilities or learning challenges.  • Ticket vending machines are confusing, especially for older passengers, and many people do not have smart phones.  • At a time of climate crisis we need more people to use the railways. Reducing ticket office opening hours will make rail travel less appealing. 

The council CAN and SHOULD use it's powers around late night licensing criteria to ensure Hospitality venues provide free transport for late night and anti-social hours workers. The council must also call for improved late night transport provision,  minimum standards for taxi and private hire safety and stronger enforcement of harassment on public transport. 16 UK councils have agreed to support the campaign- let's make Norwich safe too!

Over time we have seen a substantial change in our job role.  The cases we handle are far more complex and challenging as services user needs have changed. We are now handling cases that can include severe mental health, neglect, abuse, exploitation and other situations which previously were exclusively dealt with by Social Workers. Lancashire County Council found the majority of Social Care Support Officers to be working at a higher grade, but our regrading did not result in our grade increasing. The service will simply not survive if skilled and dedicated workers are forced to leave because of low pay and lack of recognition for our work.

School days were the best days of your life but for these kids it has been stop, start and then move school. They need and education they deserve. They need to enjoy school and be around there peers. This can only be possible if mobile building are on site allowing them to be in their own school grounds The Department for Education must foot the bill for the repairs. Council receives approx £3million for school budgets, to rebuild a school like Churchill Community College will cost approx £25million plus another 3 schools in the borough also need repairing. This will almost inevitably impact on our children in the future as Council and school budgets are all at breaking point.
