Tetley Tea Workers Can't Afford To Buy Tetley Tea!This loyal, predominately female workforce has endured year after year of real terms pay cuts. Now they have had enough. GMB members are being intimidated by management not to strike – they are trying to bully workers rather than listen to their concerns and try to find a solution. Please sign our petition and let’s send a message to the Tata bosses telling them they must get back round the negotiating table so their workers can get back to what they do best, producing tea for the nation. By signing this petition, you'll be sending an email directly to Claire O'Hare, HR Manager at UK Operation of Tata Global Beverages859 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by GMB NEYH .

Fair Pay for All NHS Workers at Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen HospitalsMore 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.7,534 of 8,000 Signatures

Save Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club!Equity is distressed to hear about plans to sell Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club, and the imminent closure of its program of events. We understand that the current programming team, who have established BGWMC as an icon of significant importance to the community over the past 20 years, have been given 2 months’ notice to shut down and vacate the venue by Monday 29th July. The potential loss of yet another London venue for queer nightlife is devastating and represents a significant loss of work for performers in the drag and cabaret sector. Not only is the BGWMC venue an asset of tremendous value to the community, but the programme of events is also a vital and consistent source of income for so many professionals.

New Deal for TeachersThie last government has shown not one shred of care or concern for the teaching profession and presided over 14 years of neglect and decline. We know the scale of the challenge the new government faces. We’re not asking for quick fixes. Our members want lasting solutions that will repair our broken schools and colleges. We want to work with the Government to secure good industrial relations through dialogue and consensus building, including: • social partnership with workforce trades unions and employers and strengthen collective bargaining rights; • restoring confidence in the independent teachers’ pay review process; • requiring all school and college employers to recognise trade unions for the purpose of collective bargaining.94 of 100 Signatures

Say ‘No’ to privatisation of NHS finance functions, putting 84 jobs on the lineThese circumstances directly impact 84 hardworking and devoted members of NHS staff, many of whom have been loyal employees for up to 35 years. Previous outsourcing experiments such as Carillion and Circle have shown that the private sector ultimately fails to provide the long term stability that the NHS requires to grow and function successfully, and the burden of the consequences is carried by staff, patients, and the taxpayer.2,122 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Joe Manners

Justice for outsourced catering workers at EurostarEurostar claim that “Whether it’s a hearty meal or a light bite, we’re passionate about our food.” But they’re less passionate about fairness for the people who get the food onto their trains. Eurostar has outsourced the supply of food on its services to a company called Rail Gourmet, owned by the travel food multinational SSP Group. SSP made an operating profit of £55 million in the UK over 2023, while the Group paid a £46 million dividend to its shareholders in the same year. Rail Gourmet only pay the London Living Wage of £13.15 an hour and their workers get inadequate sick pay and no decent pension, meaning they live hand to mouth while shareholders profit and Eurostar wash their hands of these essential workers. Rail Gourmet’s Eurostar caterers have had enough and they’re fighting back. They’re campaigning and taking industrial action in pursuit of a decent pay rise, sick pay and pensions. They need your help. Please add your name to this petition to the Directors of Rail Gourmet and Eurostar calling on them to ensure that hard-working catering staff are made a new offer that can settle their dispute.1,825 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by RMT Union

Stop derecognition at Imperial War Museum!PCS has played a vital role in advocating for the rights and interests of employees at IWM for many years. Derecognising PCS union could lead to worsened working conditions. It would not only strip employees of their collective bargaining power but also undermine the principles of democracy and representation in the workplace. 80% of the workers voted for union recognition - IWM management's decision to derecognise two of the three unions in the workplace undermines the workers' freedom to choose which union they want to represent them. Union recognition is a vital right at work, enabling employees and employers to negotiate in the workplace, fairly and in good faith. That can't happen if the employer just decides to change the rules when it suits them. The staff team at Imperial War Museum sites around the country have shown loyalty and dedication to their mission, enabling people to have an informed understanding of modern war and its impact on individuals and society. Please help them stand up for their important employment rights.831 of 1,000 Signatures
