Steve North "At Unison we call for a permanent and immediate ceasefire and the suspension of all arms trades with Israel. We call for that whoever is in govt and we want the recognition of a Palestinian state. @STWUK is pivotal to all of this and we need to stand together."
Not the greatest picture apologies, but I am so proud of our Vice President (and social care worker) Julia Mwaluke, who today at #TUC2024 asked Prime Minister Keir Starmer to reassert The Labour Party’s commitment to a National Care Service and to make urgent progress! ✊
Our Vice Presidents Julia and Lyn-Marie met yesterday with Kye, the Father of Zane Gbangbola. Zane died at 7 year’s old & Kye was paralysed in a hydrogen cyanide flooding incident in 2014. UNISON call on Keir Starmer for the passing of “Zane’s Law” and for the Truth About Zane.
Thank you to our International Committee Chair Liz Wheatley for her impassioned and powerful speech at #TUC2024 seconding the excellent National Education Union motion support of the Palestinian people! ✊🇵🇸 #CeasefireNow #StopArmingIsrael #RecognisePalestine
An incredible speech to #TUC2024 from Husam Zomlot! I defy anyone to listen to such a speech and not do all they can to end arms sales to Israel, support the call for an immediate & permanent ceasefire, ensure effective sanctions & demand the immediate recognition of Palestine! ✊🇵🇸
This is now TUC policy. Thank you to all who got us here. It’s time for Keir Starmer and The Labour Party to act urgently in the interests of current and future generations of workers- here & abroad - who need a rapid and just transition to tackle the Climate Emergency! ✊🌍 #TUC2024
🚨 The British Trades Union Congress (Trades Union Congress), representing 5.5 million workers and 48 member unions have unanimously passed a motion demanding an end to all arms trading with Israel over the genocide in Gaza and pledged to make unions 'apartheid free zones'. Here Louise Regan
A strong statement from the UK’s largest trade union. Rachel Reeves must think again on the winter fuel cut. unison.org.uk/news/article/2…
