  • Demand the billionare breakup of Wilts health services is paused!
    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.

  • Reinstate National Theatre Primary Schools Touring
    Schools do not have the resources to offer these kinds of experiences themselves. Primary school children in particular are being left behind. In spite of the National Theatre’s cuts being branded as a “sad loss”, “unfair”, a “slap in the face”, and “depressing” by union and sector leaders, the organisation has so far refused to listen. The National Theatre has stated that increased costs and cuts to Arts Council England funding are among the reasons for these decisions. And yet its total annual income recently increased from £89 million to £121.4 million, while the primary school touring represented a tiny fraction of the organisation’s expenditure. The National Theatre already receives more Arts Council England funding than any other theatre organisation. This is not simply an issue of needing a more transformative and equitable approach to public arts funding. It is a question of priorities and responsibility for one of our largest theatre organisations.  Austerity is a choice.

  • HC-One Workers are STILL Sick of SSP!

  • Say NO! To Wage Theft at Sheffield Hallam University
    Sheffield Hallam University has deferred workers' pay increase for 11 months and will NOT backdate pay. This decision will cost many University workers over £1,000. In effect, the University Executive Board (UEB) is pinching from the pockets of the workers to pay for their financial mismanagement. We call this wage theft. Sign our petition to support workers at Sheffield Hallam University and send a clear message to the University Executive Board to pay workers what they are owed and to include trade union voices in setting the University’s budgets. Trade Unions have suggested alternatives to the financial difficulties faced by the University, but these have been dismissed by UEB, who are more determined to push on with vanity projects like their proposed “London Campus”, which is estimated to cost millions. Earlier this year, we submitted statements of “no confidence” in UEB over their mishandling of University finances and their ramshackle restructure of the service. Now all the trade unions are demanding that the University implement and backdate the national pay award and sit down with them to agree a budget in the long-term interests of the workers, the University and the Sheffield community.  Sign our petition if you agree with us and show solidarity with workers at Sheffield Hallam. While the Vice Chancellor sits on circa £250,000+ per annum, workers are having their pockets pinched. GMB, UCU and UNISON have formally registered their dispute with the University. Workers should not be asked to pay the price for senior managers' financial mismanagement. Agree with us? Sign our petition.

  • Newham Council: Save Applecart Arts!
    Applecart arts is a creative venue, housed by Newham Council in the old registry office, providing performance arts to the local community and jobs to Equity members. They are a cornerstone of the community yet Applecart Arts is facing closure due to cashflow issues. Equity represents many freelancers who find work at Applecart. Such a loss of freelance work is totally counterproductive to what a borough serious about culture is trying to achieve. You cannot have art without the workers who create it!

  • Save ScotRail's Ticket Offices
    • 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.

  • Permanently scrap peak fare pricing across ScotRail services
    Abolishing peak fares will help reduce financial strain on commuters, particularly low-income workers and essential service providers who are disproportionately affected by the current pricing system. These individuals, often with no choice but to travel during rush hours, face inflated fares that make everyday commuting a heavy financial burden. By scrapping peak fares, we can create a more inclusive and equitable transport system that ensures fair access for all, regardless of schedule. This change would also support the Scottish Government’s broader climate ambitions by encouraging a shift away from private car usage. Lower rail fares will make public transport a more attractive and viable option, helping to reduce congestion, lower emissions, and decrease Scotland's reliance on cars. It presents a clear opportunity for the government to demonstrate leadership in providing accessible, affordable, and sustainable public services. With the cost of living continuing to rise, the Scottish Government has a unique opportunity to support working families and everyday commuters by permanently abolishing peak fares. This move would send a powerful message that Scotland is committed to providing equitable and accessible public services. It would not only address social inequality but also contribute significantly to the country’s environmental goals. The recent trial period of peak fare removal has already demonstrated the policy's benefits. Commuters reported significant savings, and rail usage increased by 7 percent. This data indicates that eliminating peak fares on a permanent basis has the potential to drive long-term behavioural change, with more people choosing sustainable, greener transport options.

  • Fair Pay for All NHS Workers at Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen Hospitals
    More than 130 porters, cleaners, and catering staff at Royal Liverpool University Hospital and Broadgreen Hospital are currently on strike, fighting for what they are owed.  These workers, previously employed by ISS to perform essential roles such as catering, portering, and domestic services, were transferred to LUHFT in April 2023.  However, the trust claims that because these workers were not directly employed by the NHS at the time of the pandemic, they do not qualify for the bonus that their colleagues have received. These workers were on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic, risking their health and safety to keep our hospitals running smoothly. Their contributions were vital, and yet they are being denied the recognition and compensation given to their colleagues who performed the same duties. Those excluded from the payment are among the lowest-paid in the NHS workforce. They have faced financial hardship every day, and this decision exacerbates their struggles.  Our NHS workers deserve to be treated fairly and with respect. To deny them this payment after their sacrifice and dedication during the pandemic is unacceptable.  Add your name and demand LUHFT pay these workers what they deserve.
