Durham Trades Councils motion calls for @TUCNorthern to facilitate time and space to discuss union organising and how all unions can work together to improve union engagement and support each other to take action #NTUC24
Although disappointed that @NorthernUNISON didn't vote, we were delighted that so many unions who did beat the threshold last year such as @ucuatdurham @neu_durham @pcs_union @RMTunion @ASLEFunion did vote to help best practice and support other unions to take action!
"There is a wealth of organising power in this room... we need to build strength, we need to take the lead. Let's organise!" Durham Trades Council Secretary implodes @TUCNorthern to stop just talking and take real action to support trade unions to fight back! #ntuc24

#NTUC24 says enough is enough! Neoliberalism is not working. It’s time to properly fund our public services.

‘We don’t often hear from the media that industrial action works, but it does.
We’ve seen workers get double figure pay rises by saying no to their employer and standing together’.
Great to have our own @rowantuc speaking at #NTUC24 today!

‘There is nothing left to cut.’
Fantastic speech from Nicky Ramanandi of @NorthernUNISON highlighting the devastating impact of cuts to local authority funding and the need for a National Care Service.

Inspiring scenes in Durham today as @ucuatdurham walk out in support of a cease fire in Palestine. @SolGamsu here speaking to the rally. #HeartUnions #CeasefireNOW

THIS IS SHOCKING
On Wednesday, Sunak said he would prioritise education funding.
Now I've just been called into a last-minute DfE meeting (5.30pm Friday), only to be informed that unplanned cuts are coming!
School funding will rise by just 2%, not 2.8% promised in July.
We already have record class sizes and can't recruit or retain teachers.
Sunak must commit to stop school cuts.
@GillianKeegan, we need a ministerial statement!

Solidarity to all those workers standing up for better pay, conditions and workplace safety.
We're all behind you!

Due to the lack of support and interest from the unions of Durham, it is with sadness that we have to announce the temporary closure of County Durham Trades Union Council.
The remaining members have tried to continue but new interest is not forthcoming.
In solidarity ✊🏾✊🏽✊
