  1. "Our dispute is over the decision by #Unite Management to unilaterally recognise a staff association with no mandate or majority support from within Unite Officers. This is something that not only goes against a democratic decision taken by the majority of Unite Officers, but stands in contrast to the very principles of collective responsibility, lay member-led decision making, and basic #TradeUnion values that Unite as both a trade union and our employer stands for."

  3. @ajsadauskas.bsky.social Related question for folks on the Fediverse: Are there any unions that you know of that are currently on the Fedi?

    If a major Australian Union created a BlueSky account and BridgyFeded it, would you follow it?

    What if it were a Pixelfed account that's BridgyFeded to BlueSky?

    Thanks @cassolotl for this advice!

    Hi, I'm Lauren and I live in Yorkshire, the best of the Shires.

    I am interested in:
    #Education & #teaching, with a focus on #SEND
    Telling everyone to join a #tradeunion and remember that most evil in the world today is caused by billionaires
    Drinking #coffee and home #cooking
    Saving money, reducing waste and sharing #frugal tips
    Listening to #music and #podcasts
    Trying to practice #mindfulness in my actions and choices
    Oh, and our true overlords, #cats 😺

    If you are not getting paid 3x your regular hourly rate on Christmas...

    ...you live in a country where #tradeunion leaders are buried in concrete...or sit at the table with employers.

  14. Llanelli retail staff report high levels of abuse as campaign calls for stronger protections

    Retail staff in Llanelli say they continue to face unacceptable levels of verbal abuse, threats and physical assault while doing their jobs — prompting renewed calls for public respect and tougher enforcement.

    The Freedom from Fear campaign, led by trade union Usdaw, was marked at Tesco Trostre with a visit from Dame Nia Griffith MP, alongside Lee Waters MS, Cllr Dot Jones and other local representatives. The event aimed to raise awareness of the abuse faced by shop workers and encourage the public to “keep your cool” in the run-up to Christmas.

    Survey shows 71% of retail staff verbally abused

    Interim results from Usdaw’s 2025 survey — based on responses from over 3,000 retail workers — show that:

    • 71% have experienced verbal abuse in the past year
    • 48% were threatened by a customer
    • 9% were assaulted

    Usdaw general secretary Joanne Thomas said the figures show a “slight downturn” compared to previous years, but warned that the scale of abuse remains “shocking”.

    “Nearly three-quarters of those working in retail are regularly facing abuse from customers,” she said. “Far too many are experiencing threats and violence. Our members are saying loud and clear that enough is enough.”

    Local voices call for change

    Dame Nia Griffith MP said retail workers “deserve to be treated with respect” and backed Usdaw’s call for stronger legal protections.

    “We’re introducing a new standalone offence of assaulting a retail worker,” she said. “That gives shop staff the protection they need and sends a clear message that abuse will not be tolerated.”

    She also pointed to Labour’s Crime and Policing Bill, which removes the £200 threshold for prosecuting shoplifting and introduces new powers to ban repeat offenders.

    Campaigners urge public to ‘respect shop workers’

    Usdaw activists say incidents tend to rise in December as shops get busier and customer frustration grows. The union is encouraging staff to report abuse and reject the idea that it’s “part of the job”.

    The Freedom from Fear campaign continues throughout the year, with workplace and community events planned across South Wales.

  20. The imagery used by the US Department of Labour draws on fascist design patterns that are directly reminiscent of Nazi propaganda from the 1930s. Once again, there is no denying that there is no accounting for bad taste. Not only is there a lack of aesthetic education, but the basis of fascism remains an inexhaustible supply of uneducated stupidity and ignorance, especially in leadership positions.

  25. First Cymru confirms bus strikes will go ahead after pay offer rejected

    Company “disappointed” as talks fail

    Doug Claringbold, Managing Director for First Bus in Cymru, said the company was “disappointed for our customers” that its “above inflation pay offer” had been rejected.

    He added:

    “Throughout this extensive negotiation process, we have listened to Unite the Union member feedback and made a number of offers in order to try and settle this dispute, to ensure customers who rely on our services are not affected by strike action.

    Unfortunately, rather than work with us to find a resolution, Unite the Union has decided to press ahead with strikes, affecting our customers. Our door remains open to negotiation.”

    The company said it will shortly publish details on its website about which services will be affected.

    Strike dates confirmed

    Unite the Union has confirmed that strike action will take place on the following dates (inclusive):

    • Thursday 30 October – Sunday 2 November
    • Wednesday 5 November – Saturday 8 November

    The union has previously warned that strike action would “shut down” the bus network across South and West Wales.

    Background

    The dispute has been ongoing for several weeks. Earlier this month, strike action was postponed after a new pay offer was tabled by First Cymru full story here.

    Unite has consistently argued that drivers deserve a fairer deal, warning that without improved pay, services and communities would continue to suffer. The union has also said that First Cymru’s drivers are among the lowest paid in the UK bus industry.

    Previous coverage:

    What happens next

    With strike dates now confirmed, passengers across Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire face significant disruption.

    First Cymru says its “door remains open” to Unite for further talks, but unless an agreement is reached, services will be severely reduced or cancelled during the strike periods.

  26. @cardamomaddict It may be that construction in 2014 was on Weber, going under the train tracks near Victoria? I recall that did happen first, to help make up for the coming changes to King. 2014 was the last year of the parade on King.

    King near Allen in September 2015 wasn’t amenable to a parade, though 😀🍻❤️
