Yesterday’s commitment from the Chancellor to restore the ULF will make a huge difference to thousands of workers across the region.
This revitalised scheme is exactly the boost workers, employers & the economy need.
Regional Secretary Dave Pike on the recent ULF annoucement 👇

Can’t believe this worked 😭

SeAH Wind workers aren’t asking for more, just fairness.
Shift allowances at industry standard.
A green future must also be a fair one. @GMBCampaigns @TeessideLive @itvtynetees
Craig Thompson retweeted
SeAH Wind took public millions promising good jobs.
Now they want to impose weekend & night shifts with below-industry shift allowances.
This isn’t greed – it’s fairness.
If you take our time and our weekends, you PAY for it.

The idea that workers earning £60k “have it easy” needs challenging. That figure often comes with nights, weekends & sacrifices. The dispute at SEAH isn’t about greed, it’s about defending shift pay & protecting standards for future generations @GMBCampaigns #justtransition
Craig Thompson retweeted
Seah Wind seems to think the “just transition” means a race to the bottom. Our members working shifts deserve industry standard allowances – not cuts. Public money backed this project. Fair pay is not optional. #JustTransition #FairPay #GreenJobs #StandWithWorkers @GMBCampaigns

🚨BREAKING: SeAH Wind workers to strike over 'pitiful' pay 💪
Walk out starts on Wednesday [15 October] and every Wednesday for six weeks.
Workers angry over imposed shift allowances and a 3.1 per cent pay offer that's both below inflation and industry standards 😤

Congratulations to the workforce and @GMB_union on gaining recognition.
Union recognition is the cornerstone of well-paid, secure work with good employment rights.
Under the Employment Rights Bill Labour is making this easier.

📢 Big news: SEAH Wind better clear some wall space — GMB’s recognition application has been accepted by the CAC! 🗂️
Time to hang up that shiny new union notice board… we’ve got things to say. @GMBCampaigns
Craig Thompson retweeted
SEAH wind Ltd in Teesside has taken millions in public funds to build its future.
But it doesn’t want to give its own workers a voice.
GMB members are standing up — and they’ll be heard.
No seat at the table? No silence either.

Something for @danhollandnews @AustenShakespe4 to investigate!?! It posted a hit job on Labour’s candidate for North Tyneside Mayor yesterday and is running ads ‘Paid for by NTCF’. Is that the North Tyneside Conservative Federation? They have shared the video on their account 🤔

Still no love from Sunderland Leaders! 💔12 Days with no communication from @SunderlandLeads despite claims to @itvtynetees that we’re working together? Who are you working with? …Definitely not GMB. The fight for pay justice in Sunderland continues. @GMBCampaigns
