Thank you for signing our petition and putting pressure on the government to keep those working in heritage safe. Last week, we won! The government extended the mask mandate to museums, galleries and libraries in England.

I am delighted to inform you that Nautilus members working onboard Isle of Man Steam Packet Company (IOMSPCo) vessels have ceased industrial action after the ferry operator withdrew the threat of fire and rehire and committed to further talks and arbitration if necessary. Following constructive dialogue, facilitated by the Manx Industrial Relations Service, the company has withdrawn notices of termination issued just before Christmas and has agreed to further talks and to engaging in arbitration should talks again result in a stalemate. On January 3 the ferry operator was forced to cut its scheduled services by 50% following unexpected crew leave. Talks are scheduled to continue from January 15. Thank you for your support to our members at this incredibly difficult time.

The workers have won pay hikes of between 14.3% and 18.5%, according to job grades. Up the dockers!

We won! Porters, cleaners and caterers will see their pay and holiday entitlement significantly increase, ending the two-tiered chaos created by outsourcing. These workers took the bold and courageous stand up for their rights and dignity at work - and it paid off.

We have some fantastic news. On Monday, South Yorkshire Fire Authority voted against cutting the number of firefighters riding a fire engine from five to four.

Campaign success! After 3 months of strike action and tireless campaigning, the workers have voted to accept an inflation beating pay rise which works out at 10.74% based on a median wage or £3,125 in cash terms. Plus, the total financial gain includes a one-off payment of £700 for most workers. Isn't it time you joined a union?
