MDHC, is part of Peel Ports and is owned by the Peel Group, based in the Isle of Man tax haven. Peel Ports recently reported a record pre-tax profit of £141million, which was greater than the entire wage bill for the year. Peel Ports has paid out more than £300 million to shareholders, in dividends over the last five years. The Liverpool port on its own made the company more than £30 million in profits in 2021. This is a company that can clearly afford to give its workers a fair pay rise in line with inflation. We ask MDHC to: • Return to negotiations to deliver a fair pay rise in line with inflation • Honour the 2021 pay agreement •. Remove the threat of unfair redundancies

During the pandemic paramedics, nurses and hospital workers worked to save thousands of lives. People clapped hands and bashed pans weekly to celebrate their contribution. It’s time to make sure they can pay the bills over the winter by giving a decent pay rise.

Workers are facing the biggest squeeze on living costs in living memory and employers need to prioritise support for workers above profits! Inflation and the cost of living is at a 30+ year high, these workers have been left with no alternative but to take strike action. Quorn is a highly successful company with a long and proud history. It has more than enough wealth to be able to afford a pay rise for these loyal workers. Can you please help show them and their employer that you support their fight for a fair pay award? Please send an email to Marco Bertacca, calling on him directly to get round the table and negotiate a fair settlement.

OCS staff at Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Trust do the same job as their NHS colleagues but their terms and conditions are substantially worse. They don't get enhancements or overtime rates. Sign this letter now to send a message to the trust board that they deserve full parity with NHS staff.

Unite the Union in Scotland undertook the biggest exercise in getting workers views from the sector on how a potential National Care Service in Scotland should work from them. From that survey, it was clear that the issues that were being experienced by a majority of workers couldn't wait until the creation of a National Care Service and had to be challenged immediately.

Our bus services are broken. But they could be world-class. The Liverpool City Region Metro Mayor has the power to fix our buses by bringing them back into public control. Right now, private bus companies do what they like, dictating prices, routes, and timetables. You’ve seen the results: catastrophic cuts, skyrocketing fares, and buses that never turn up on time. It’s not just a bad deal for passengers — drivers are overworked and underpaid, leaving the bus companies struggling to run a reliable service as staff shortages bite. No wonder our drivers are sometimes forced to go on strike! Public control would mean affordable fares and more frequent buses. All with a smart ticket where daily spending is capped. And why not? It’s what they have in London! It would also put staff pay and conditions in public control, delivering a better deal for drivers and more reliable buses for you. Local politicians are there to represent YOU! Let them know you think buses should be in public control.

Workers are facing the biggest squeeze on living costs in living memory and employers need to prioritise support for workers above profits!

We are calling on the government to: - Cancel the imminent increase in the energy price cap keeping energy costs stable for every family - Bring the Big 5 energy companies back into public ownership, like in France, where government-owned energy companies were forced to cap prices. - Introduce a free basic energy component for all households and a social tariff for vulnerable households - Bring forward planned increases in social security, universal credit and pensions, and in the National Living Wage, and ensure they are at least in line with inflation. And in the long term, we need the government to deliver the high wage economy that they promised and a fair, secure and zero carbon energy system for the future. Sign the petition today to join our call for the government to take meaningful action to help with this cost of living crisis.

Every worker should be able to afford a decent standard of living. But millions of low-paid workers live wage packet to wage packet, struggling to get by – and they are now being pushed to the brink by eye-watering bills and soaring prices. For too long workers have been told that businesses can't afford to pay them more. But again and again the evidence has shown that firms are still making profits and increasing jobs – we can afford higher wages. And higher wages are good for the economy – more money in the pockets of working people means more spend on our high streets. It’s time to put an end to low-pay Britain.

Members of PCS union working for Hinduja Global Solutions (HGS) in Liverpool are taking strike action over pay and conditions. Can you support their campaign? The Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) helps employers make safer recruitment decisions by processing and issuing record checks for people working with children and adults in vulnerable or sensitive situations. HGS deliver a contract for DBS running the contact centre and back-office functions. Highly rated, poorly paid HGS staff provide an essential service, dealing with around a million calls from the public, and 6 million DBS certificates every year. As key workers they worked throughout the COVID lockdowns, helping other key services keep running safely. But now their employer is offering only a meagre pay award, taking wages just above the minimum wage. HGS are also refusing to improve on other minimum legal terms and conditions. It's not like they can't afford to. Internationally, HGS are a hugely profitable firm, and their owner tops the rich list with a personal wealth of £24.5bn. When prices are rising so quickly, HGS' refusal to agree a fair pay rise will cause real hardship for their staff. One of our members said “We don’t want to disrupt the service we provide to the public but we want to be paid a fair wage to get by on. With double digit inflation I’m finding it really difficult to pay for food and pay the bills. While the company are making record profits and the owner is the richest person in the country, this is not right.” Can you help raise the pressure on HGS to come back to the table and do right by our members? Please send an email to the company's UK CEO now.

The practice of ghost clinics or double-booking patient clinics for commercial gain risks both patients and clinicians in their prospective roles. Patients can be put at risk from a rushed eye examination that may miss vital signs of an eye condition or overall eye health. Practitioners are put in a compromising position between carrying out their employer's request and/or breaching GOC standards which could lead to them losing their registration and be unable to practice. The application of ghost clinics is often aimed at those with less employment rights like new starters, newly qualified or locums (self-employed), who feel pressurised to accept the practice. Many practitioners are left feeling stressed, missing their rest breaks and working additional hours just to cover the double appointments booked whilst feeling they are letting patients down. This also affects everyone who rely on companies within the optical sector to look after their eye health, so help support those in the sector trying to eradicate this practice and also for the benefit of your own wider health by signing this petition.
