Great speech from Fraser McGuire on organising young workers in precarious work. Brilliantly inspiring to see workers taking back power and control for themselves, adapting to ‘flexible’ work and ensuring union activity is strong. #Haz2024

Great weekend at Hazards Campaign #CovidIsAirborne #Ventil8Filter conference, including a really interesting presentation on Spycops and some fantastic workshops. Will definitely be going next year! Was also pleased to speak about engaging young members and strategies for organising precarious workers.

Another high-rise in Slough with flammable cladding, just a couple of weeks after a major fire and now, Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service plans to cut cover? Residents deserve better. Safety should come first, not budget cuts.

❌A firefighter in South Yorkshire will receive half the maternity pay of a firefighter in a neighbouring service. That's why firefighters rallied outside a meeting of the South Yorkshire Fire fire authority today. It's time to end the postcode lottery with 52 weeks.
