We would like to thank all who attended our rally today. We cannot allow far right views to take hold in our city. They are ultimately a threat to us all and our movement. We may have won today, but our message of jobs, homes and services for all is a fight we must continue.

According to UNRWA, while the world is marking #InternationalWomensDay, 63 women are killed in Gaza per day - 37 are mothers who leave their families behind.

Proud of our branch members at @HullandERCAB for standing firm against an employer that ripped up a 20+ year pay deal, with the first strike in a local CAB for more than 25 years. A lesson for all workers and employers in the voluntary sector - strike action gets results.

Well done to our Hull and East Riding Citizens Advice members, who took strike action for the first time in the organisation’s history and won. #JobsPayConditions unitetheunion.org/news-events/ne…

Our @UniteNEYH members at @HullandERCAB picketing their #Goole office yesterday. This won't stop until trustees get to the table and give our members the full NJC award, as they have done for more than 20 years. £1m+ in the bank says they can easily afford to meet this.

Our members at @HullandERCAB have still had no satisfactory response to their pay claim. The employer has ripped up a 20-year agreement to match the NJC, which it can easily afford to pay. Today, the picket moved to the #Bridlington office. Time for the trustees to pay up.

Many of Citizens Advice’s workers are on poverty pay – earning just above the minimum wage. Disgracefully, this wealthy charity has reneged on two decades of working practice to deny them the NJC pay recommendation. @HullandERCAB #JobsPayConditions #Hull bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Solidarity to stagecoach workers in Hull

This is an attack on our members' pay and @unitetheunion will support our members every step of the way. @StagecoachEMid can afford to pay, it must put forward an offer our members can accept. #Hull #JobsPayConditions

"In our country unions have been destroyed over the years and they've got weaker, but now they're starting to get strong again" - @Actavo_HQ rep Calvin With inspiration from our Danish comrades at 3F, we won't give up the fight, no matter what we are threatened with ✊

It's outrageous that hospitality workers are being left to police the wearing of facemasks due to the lack of proper mandatory rules. Unite has pledged to defend the #JobsPayConditions of our members and the health and safety of our hospitality members is high on that list.

🚨EXTRA, EXTRA 🚨 “Our view is that facemasks must be compulsory in all public spaces but that it must not be left to to workers in hospitality, or any other sector, to enforce.” @unitetheunion release including @UniteSharon & @BrySim88 unitetheunion.org/news-events/ne…

1/5 - I am honoured to have been elected as General Secretary of @unitetheunion by our members, and I understand that the trust that they have placed in me brings with it tremendous responsibility.

Amazon is an undercutter to other terms and conditions of employment. If Amazon is not dealt with, we will see a negative effect on other agreements. I will look at the non-unionised areas and undercutters across all 19 sectors and take action. Vote #SG4GS

I want us to have a more sectoral, industrial approach in terms of just transition. We need to bring together senior reps and build agreements that we drive through whole sectors. #Vote SG4GS

Bad bosses should fear a union. It's a badge of honour not something to shy away from. Leverage works, that's why it is 'the envy of unions across the world'. Keep fighting for members and winning for members @UniteSharon, you've got them running scared! #SG4GS

1/2 Oh dear - I hear the boys are getting worried. Now leaking stories that I’m too hard on bad employers. Well I don’t see bad employers having regard for our members when they #fireandrehire workers at will.
