Every year, £6 BILLION is taken out of our public services in outsourcing profits. That's money for NHS nurses, care workers, free school meals and council homes. It's time for @andyburnham and the Government to end the outsourcing scam. #InsourceNow

Workers are being pushed out of the aviation industry, while the abuse is also taking a toll on workers’ mental health. Abuse should never be considered ‘part of the job’ but for too many airport and aviation workers, verbal abuse, intimidation, aggression and violence are a regular reality at work. From ground handlers and passenger service assistants to security staff and cabin crew, everyone working to keep our airports and airlines running deserves to feel safe from the airport to the aircraft 📣 That’s why we’re calling for a unionised, worker-led approach to tackling abusive and disruptive passenger behaviour and protecting aviation workers. Support our campaign for change ✊: actionnetwork.org/letters/as… #airport #aviation #airline #cabincrew #cabincrewlife

Our Mind at Sea campaign will make it easier for seafarers to access support for their mental health and wellbeing. 🇵🇭 The global campaign continued in the Philippines last week as we called for stronger preventive measures against onboard harassment and bullying.

We also shone a light on the difficulty seafarers' face in accessing vital onshore welfare services due to strict port and custom rules and demanding cargo operations. Seafarers should be able to access services regardless of nationality, union membership or employer.

Fisher health and wellbeing training in Indonesia 🇮🇩 Fishers shared their experiences of life onboard fishing vessels and learnt emergency injury procedures such as CPR. We all have a right to a safe and healthy workplace – and fishers are no exception.

Workers are the ones who create wealth for major companies – but this wealth is being used to union bust, subvert policy in the interests of private capital, and fund the far right. @ituc exposes corporations who undermine democracy. ituc-csi.org/corporate-under…
