    🚨BREAKING Deal agreed to end bins strike after 15 months! It is an absolute abhorrence that this deal has been blocked not just once but twice by unelected unaccountable commissioners and officers at Birmingham City Council. Congratulations to the Unite members who stood firm

    “The @LabourParty sacking of @SamTarry for supporting working people on strike, against cuts to their jobs and pay, is another insult to the trade union movement. Quite frankly it would be laughable if it were not so serious.” @UniteSharon 1/3

    “The Labour Party was founded by the trade unions and we expect Labour MPs to defend workers, by words and by actions. To instruct Labour MPs not to be on picket lines with workers speaks volumes.” @UniteSharon 1/2

    We did it! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 We've secured a deal (subject to a members' vote) that ends the use of #FireAndRehire by #BritishAirways in its cargo division – the last part of BA where it was still a threat. To our BA cargo members who stood firm during 9 days of strike action: ✊🏽✊🏽
