GMB/UNISON say SAFE SCHOOLS NOW! Support Teaching Assistants at St Luke's Primary-Tower Hamlets!Over the Easter holidays, five Teaching Assistants at St Luke's Primary School were made redundant, leaving the same amount of children in the school with significantly less staff. Teaching Assistants were already going above & beyond in their day to day roles, and now they are concerned for the safety of not only themselves, but the children they look after, now that the cuts have been made. They are stretched thin on the ground, and they worry about going into work every day, not knowing whether their will be enough staff to ensure that children with SEN or EHCPs will have the support they need to get through the day safely, and whether mainstream children will have their education disrupted due to the lack of staff. A good, safe education for the children in their care is their highest priority. This is why they have gone on strike, to try and get the school to listen to their concerns around the health & safety issues after the staffing cuts. All they want is to be able to go into work, support the children's education, and not worry about whether someone will get hurt today. The only way we believe this will happen is if the Headteacher and the Governors decide to reverse the ill-thought out and hasty cuts they have made to the group of staff who primarily support the children with Special Educational Needs or dysregulated behaviour. This is not to mention the mainstream children whose education is being impacted and disrupted by a lack of support for the children who need it.33 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jasmin Deans -

TFL Employee Diabetic Policy DemandTFL including London Underground urgently need a comprehensive policy to protect diabetic employees which fully complies with the Equality Act 2010 It must outline how it will be implemented, who is responsible for its enforcement & how employees can make complaints or requests & how TFL will support employees. Key Aspects of a Company Diabetes Policy: Non-Discrimination: The policy should clearly state that the company will not discriminate against employees with diabetes. Reasonable Adjustments: Reasonable  adjustments can be as simple as allowing set break times for blood sugar checks or providing a private area for insulin injections. modifications to the workplace may be required to  accommodate an employee's diabetes, such as Ajusting working hours, breaks, or tasks to allow for insulin injections or blood glucose monitoring. Flexible Work Arrangements: Consider remote work or flexible hours if the employee's diabetes requires it. Confidentiality: Ensuring that employee medical information is kept confidential. Access to Healthcare & Check-ups: Staff with diabetes need access & time off for several healthcare apointments a year including their diabetic annual review . There needs to be resources for employees with diabetes. These are vital in helping them manage their diabetes & help reduce the risk of serious complications. They may need extra support from their healthcare team. TFL must allow them time to get better and provide flexible working options if appropriate as they return to work. This must be discussed with TFL occupational health team . Stress can slow down their recovery even further and can affect their diabetes too, so think about emotional wellbeing too. Education: Providing information about diabetes and how the company can support employees.

Courses like DAFNE (for Type 1 diabetes) and DESMOND (for Type 2 diabetes) make a big difference to how well someone with diabetes can manage their condition. They can improve a person’s health in the long term and reduce time off due to complications. And if people share what they’ve learned with colleagues, this awareness can spread across your whole organisation. Training for Directors, HR professionals, Managers and Supervisors: Training should be provided to the above staff on how to support employees with diabetes, including understanding the condition and recognizing potential issues.

Royal Cornwall Hospital NHS Staff - End Exploitative "Second Job" Contracts and Pay Fair OvertimeUNISON wants to end the unfair and exploitative practice of asking permanent NHS staff to sign up to a zero hours contract (Kernowflex) for what are effectively overtime hours within their existing roles in a bid to underpay staff. It is unacceptable to be asking hard working NHS staff to do overtime without proper pay or recognition! This predominantly affects the lowest paid staff who rely on overtime to pay their bills.  We, the undersigned are deeply concerned that Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust are encouraging a system that undermines the rights of their dedicated hardworking NHS employees. The hospital are giving staff the option to sign up to a zero hours contract where they will be paid at a flat rate, rather than overtime pay which is time and a half.  We call on Royal Cornwall Hospital NHS Trust to reconsider these ill thought out plans and stop trying to get work done on the cheap.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cornwall Acute Health branch UNISON

No Unpaid Work at Cambridge Shakespeare Festival!Cambridge Shakespeare Festival was found guilty by an Employment Tribunal of withholding wages and holiday pay from performers working at the 2022 event, because the Festival claimed they were volunteers. Two years on from that 2023 Tribunal, and Dr Crilly the director of the Festival, refuses to employ his actors as workers. We demand he pay his workers at the 2025 Cambridge Shakespeare Festival and complies with the ruling of the tribunal judge.Â531 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Gareth Forest

Tell Regional Schools Director to Consult over future of Uni. of Brighton Academy Trust schoolsDear Dame Kate Dethridge                                  University of Brighton Academies Trust Re-Brokering  I am writing regarding the University of Brighton Academies Trust (UBAT). We’ve been informed, by the Trust, of the decision to re-broker its schools to alternative multi academy trusts. Parents and staff have been deeply concerned by recent events at the Trust - where millions of pounds of public money was taken from school budgets to fund central services. For example six executives were paid over £100,000 annually, and £800,000 was spent on marketing. I understand that the decision on how and who to re-broker UBAT schools to now rests ultimately with yourself as the Regional Schools Commissioner.   I support the National Education Union’s campaign for local schools to be returned to local Council control.  Whether or not that option proves possible in the timescale needed for UBAT schools, I am writing to you to request that:  • Meaningful consultation is held with parents, staff and their unions and the local community over who will be running UBAT schools in the future • Your decision ensures full transparency over UBAT schools’ funding - with no more than the average local authority amount (4-5%) being spent on central services • Whoever runs UBAT schools in future must provide guarantees for teachers and support staff’s pay and conditions - discussed and agreed through their trade unions.  I feel very strongly about these issues which affect our children’s precious years in education, and I would appreciate your earliest reply.  Yours sincerely,   [your signature] [Your name]236 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Nick Childs -

Standing up for scienceWe are deeply concerned by the US decision to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO), and more recently to block federal scientists from attending the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) meeting in Hangzhou, China. These international bodies give a stable home to the science tackling some of the most pressing challenges the world has ever known. In an era of misinformation, it is more important than ever that science is under the protection of such trusted, independent authorities. We now have an additional responsibility to keep them thriving until we can welcome our US colleagues back. We must always be prepared to speak up for the principles of science itself wherever they come under attack from ideological, commercial, or personal agendas. We urge UK political and scientific leaders to give public support to supranational research partnerships, and to recommit to both the principle, and material support for UK scientists’ participation.202 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Prospect Union
