Unite regional officer Shane Sweeting said: “It is disgraceful that a Labour-run council is betraying the city’s workers and now residents are telling us how fed up they are.

Today, this legislation is more important than ever, as we see some employers rolling back on their commitment to equality in the workplace.

Join Unite to defend your rights in the workplace!

✊ 15 Years of the Equalities Act

For 15 years trade union reps have used the Equality Act to fight for our members rights at work: a level playing field for disabled members and protection from bullying, harassment and unfair dismissal just because of who you are.

@unitesharon.bsky.social - The government had promised to ensure that job focused bids would be the priority [...] yet prior to bids even being considered they are already issuing redundancy notices

Lindsey Oil Refinery doesn't just make a difference to the local economy - it's a key part of our national infrastructure. If LOR is allowed to close, we will be more reliant on Russian oil via India and Turkey. We need more fuel security - not less!
