For over 40 years, the Covent Garden Street Performers Association has self regulated accessible, family friendly street entertainment in the West End. But gentrification is forcing this Great British Tradition out of our city centres, in favour of businesses who want sanitised and bland high streets. But Westminster Council has introduced licensing for street performance in all areas, including Covent Garden. Since this change our members have been in discussions with the Council about Covent Garden's unique role in Street Performance in London. We have been careful stewards of this corner of the City, bringing much needed culture, footfall, and cash to the streets of Covent Garden. We believe on the basis of the long year track record of the Performers Association managing and regulating ourselves, and our role as custodians of this Great British Tradition, that we do not need licensing in Covent Garden. We are calling on Westminster Councillors to reject the voices of gentrification, and revoke the heavy handed, unnecessary licensing conditions in Covent Garden, that threaten the future of this Great British Tradition. Sign our petition and tell Westminster Council to vote to Save Covent Garden Street Performers!

Hundreds of nursing support staff at Mid Cheshire hospitals have been working above their pay grade for years. We are calling on their trust to pay them the wage they deserve and to award back-pay for years of underpayment.

Please show your support by signing this petition and let's send a clear message to Sunderland City Council that they should put right their discriminatory pay practices.

Government contractor ISS at 3 departments - Department for Energy Security & Net Zero, Department for Business & Trade and Department for Science, Innovation & Technology - is pocketing the pay of hardworking members of PCS Union working in cleaning, security and other vital Government services. ISS made a profit last year of £73m and ten board members received almost £1m between them. For our members - the workers that created their profits - they are imposing a real terms pay cut. Our Ministers are happy to let ISS rip us off, profiteer, and leave our members in hardship. But our members won’t accept that and are striking for their fair share. Sign our petition to the Government Property Agency calling of them to intervene and get their contractor to pay a proper wage!

Local government workers are providing vital public services that our communities rely on every single day. They are the key workers who kept the country going throughout the pandemic. Their value to our communities should be recognised by a pay offer that allows them to feed and clothe their families without having to resort to foodbanks or handouts. It is unacceptable council workers are bearing the brunt of the cuts to local government budgets!

Workers from Vista Therm, in Lurgan Northern Ireland, are on weeks-long all-out strike action for fair pay, union recognition and dignity at work. Amongst a web of unlimited companies in the British Virgin Islands and Isle of Man these companies no longer disclose their financial accounting. However trade sources estimate the parent company to be worth around £200m. The last time Vista Therm in Lurgan published its accounts was in 2021 and the company turnover then was up 24.6% with profits of £6m. This is a hugely successful business and without its skilled workforce to deliver the finished products it simply wouldn’t be the success that it is today. These workers didn’t choose to go on strike lightly, they were forced to take this action because the company refused to listen to them and engage in any talks or discussion.

Hundreds of nursing support staff at Warrington and Halton hospitals have been working above their pay grade for years. We are calling on their trust to pay them the wage they deserve and to award back-pay for years of underpayment.

Childcare and early years education workers have an immense responsibility. They look after and educate the youngest members of our society and help give children the best start in life. But years of Government underfunding have made it harder and harder for childcare workers to stay in the sector, and manage financially. Thousands of childcare workers live wage-packet to wage-packet, struggling to get by. Like many of us in this cost of living crisis, they are now being pushed to the brink by eye-watering bills and soaring prices. Low wages hurt not just childcare workers, but everyone who relies on their help to raise a family. Parents from all sectors need high quality childcare to get by. It takes a village to raise a child. Let’s raise the standards for childcare and early years education workers so they get the pay and respect they deserve. Childcare and early years education workers are just some of many workers who are struggling to get by on low wages. We support the TUC's campaign calling for £15 an hour for all workers: https://www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/raise-the-minimum-wage-to-ps15-an-hour

These workers deserve fair pay for skilled work and an end to real terms pay cuts, their quality of life has been eroded over time, this needs to change for the workers, their families and for the future of decent paid jobs in Teeside.

Manufacturing has a proud industrial heritage in this country. Skills have, in the past, been valued and paid accordingly. We are now seeing a race to the bottom where for many the minimum wage (or slightly over so the company can't be accused of being a minimum wage employer) becomes the maximum wage. This erosion needs to end. Too often companies make massive profits but fail to remunerate workers for the input they have had in achieving this. Workers at Denso Marston deserve better. They deserve to be valued and paid accordingly for their work. They deserve a 12% pay increase. Support the workers in their campaign for fair pay. Please sign and share this petition.

The position of a PFCC should be held by someone with integrity and who can make competent and professional decisions. The current PFCC is not that person. The PFCC is the governance of one of the most trusted and reliable workforces in the public’s time of need. The fire service, firefighters, and the public deserve better.
