Schools Support staff are vital to the running of our Schools and the education our Children. We believe the success of our School and the education they provide will be badly affected by these proposals. School Support staff are some of the lowest paid staff in Schools and proposals to cut their wages in the middle of a cost of living crisis is harsh and wrong.

On 17 November, the government will announce in its autumn statement whether it will reinstate the state pension triple lock for 2023. The triple lock rules that the state pension must rise in line with whichever is highest of inflation, average earnings or 2.5%. The Prime Minister has previously refused to commit to reinstating the triple lock. For 2022, the triple lock was suspended meaning that the state pension rise of 3.1% in April was quickly overtaken by inflation which at that point was already at 11%. The cost of living crisis is really a cost of greed crisis. Profiteering energy companies are driving up energy bills and driving more people into poverty. Older people spend a larger proportion of their fixed income on energy bills, meaning more of Unite's retired members will be forced into an impossible choice - between heating or eating. We are calling on the Prime Minister to do the right thing by our retired members and reinstate the triple lock. *** Join Unite in the fight for dignity in retirement, through Retired Members Plus membership.

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! 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. Venator is a highly successful company with more than enough wealth to be able to afford a pay rise for these workers. At a time when the company are denying these workers a decent pay rise they are paying their CEO/President, Simon Turner, a total renumeration package of £8.53million. Can you please help show them and their employer that you support their fight for a fair pay award? Please send an email to Simon Turner, calling on him directly to get round the table and negotiate a fair settlement.

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.
