Firefighting is a carcinogenic occupation. The science knows it, the UN knows it - it’s about time the politicians & fire chiefs responsible for UKFRS took action to protect their workforce from occupational cancers. They want to save money. We want to save lives.

Civil service pay is at such a level that one third of staff in one key public facing role have received a rise simply because Minimum Wage legislation requires this. @pcs_union civilserviceworld.com//professions/a…

📢📢 “Fair pay now!” for PCS members in The Pension Regulator. PCS has made very reasonable suggestions for how the dispute could be ended but TPR are burying their heads in the sand #PCSonStrike #TPRPayUp

I see GMB are doing here what GMB often do, sublimating pre-existing organisation under 'employer granted' recognition. So much for principled trade unionism. It is a Boots v PDA lite strategy.

On Friday, just days before the strikes, Deliveroo contacted the organisers delegitimising their demands. They claim to offer “attractive earnings” & that pay has in fact increased. Last week’s huge strike clearly points to the opposite. Actions speak louder than words!

It's great that @pcs_union is challenging the Minimum Service legislation by way of Judicial Review, and especially pleased this is one of Mark Serwotka's last acts. PCS have been very good recently on public law challenges but I do wish they would publish the grounds as well.
