Firefighting is a carcinogenic occupation. The science knows it, the UN knows it - it’s about time the politicians & fire chiefs responsible for UKFRS took action to protect their workforce from occupational cancers.
They want to save money.
We want to save lives.

And another reason for HMRC members to vote yes for decent pay in our national strike ballot which runs until 13 May. #VoteYes
Civil service pay is at such a level that one third of staff in one key public facing role have received a rise simply because Minimum Wage legislation requires this. @pcs_union

Finally had time to read this. Excellent summary and insight into the challenges faced by employers in respect of conflicting views/beliefs @blackstone @Mishcon_de_Reya

“Fair pay now!” for PCS members in The Pension Regulator.
PCS has made very reasonable suggestions for how the dispute could be ended but TPR are burying their heads in the sand

I see GMB are doing here what GMB often do, sublimating pre-existing organisation under 'employer granted' recognition. So much for principled trade unionism. It is a Boots v PDA lite strategy.

It's great that @pcs_union is challenging the Minimum Service legislation by way of Judicial Review, and especially pleased this is one of Mark Serwotka's last acts.
PCS have been very good recently on public law challenges but I do wish they would publish the grounds as well.

BREAKING 🚨 | 22% of workers in the South West face losing their right to strike because of the government’s draconian Strikes Act.
5.5 MILLION workers could be affected - with 534,000 workers in the South West specifically at risk.
The restrictions are undemocratic, unworkable, and potentially illegal.
That's why we're marching today in Cheltenham - to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the GCHQ trade union ban and to speak out against the current attacks on the right to strike.
We will once again show a Conservative government that the entire union movement stands together behind any worker sacked for trade union activity.
