Next time workers go on strike for better pay and conditions and get demonised in the press for it, we should show up on picket lines like the trade union movement has showed up for our communities. Working-class unity is the only way forward.

🚨BREAKING: Labour is set to repeal both the Minimum Service Levels and the 2016 Trade Union Act. The Tories brought these laws in to ban workers from defending jobs, pay and conditions. This legislation wouldn't be out of place under a dictatorship - good riddance.

FBU Regional Secretary Brian Harris speaking at a SUTR event in Newcastle. Issues included tacking the Far Right. The trade union movement as a matter of urgency need to coordinate and be more proactive.

It was an honour to be able to celebrate the memory of fallen firefighters John Donley and Tony Hall, who tragically lost their lives in the line of duty 42 years ago. #wewillneverforget #redplaque Fire Brigades Union FBU@Reg3 North East

It is so important that firefighters who have paid the ultimate price are remembered. The red plaque scheme is a great mark of respect and only possible with the FBU Firefighters Lottery #alwaysremembered
