💰Unite research showed energy companies made £30bn profits in 2024. That's around £500 per household, and a quarter of business energy bills!

Whatever divides us weakens us.
Whoever divides and weakens us is doing the bosses’ work.
That is why we will stand #Together against division tomorrow. Join us ✊
Meet at the Unite banner, Park Lane, midday www.togetheralliance.org.uk

The bosses profit from our labour and run the show. They have wealth & power on their side. If we want better pay or to curb profiteering, all workers have on our side is each other. It is unity, #solidarity that can beat exploitation and profiteering.

🤯A year of all out strike action by bin workers. A year of failure by @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social
The council is attempting to snatch £8k a year from bin workers' pay.
It has wasted £33m trying to break the strike & has failed to attend a single negotiation for nine months!

'I've been on bin strike for a year - city has turned into cesspit, I'm ashamed' Next week marks the first anniversary of the mass walkout that crippled Birmingham’s bin collections. It led to mountains of waste piling up in the city’s streets and fears of a public health crisis

🪧A year on strike. Why is @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social failing to negotiate an end for its workers and residents?

🍺 Brewdog founder James Watt says it 'hurts' & he would have 'loved to save every job.' Meanwhile hundreds of workers are unemployed & investors have lost everything. Watt? Still a multi-millionaire.

📈 Profits on the rise again. Payouts to shareholders at record highs
💰 But instead of investing profits back into businesses, boosting innovating and creating jobs, bosses are rewarding themselves and shareholders

Is this why @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social leaders don't have time to negotiate an end to the bins strike? Too busy removing signs supporting the strikers?

Minimum wage bandings have been in the headlines this week. Unlike some, we say workers deserve fair wages, regardless of age.
The answer to fixing the economy and addressing youth unemployment isn’t minimum wage cuts for those already struggling. It’s investing in decent jobs and liveable wages
