It does indeed Angela, so why have you done nothing to #MakeWorkPay in your own Department & government?
You're DPM, you could resolve the disputes tomorrow if you wanted.
You haven't done anything for months so are you just all talk?
Now there are strikes at No 10 Downing Street.
Our members across Whitehall have already been on strike for 5 months
Now to be joined by colleagues at No 10 Downing Street
We have negotiated a deal. The government has sat on it for months.
#MakeWorkPay now! Sick pay now! Fair pay now!
Or from 24 Feb we will be back on strike
Today in the UK, we are facing:
📈Ongoing cost-of-living crisis
📝Rise in zero-hours contracts
🤑Big corporations putting their profits above workers' wellbeing
We need trade unions to safeguard our rights as workers. On #HeartUnions week, read why ⬇️ waronwant.org/news-analysi...
Today is workplace day of solidarity with the Palestinian people 🇵🇸
We descended on the Department for Business & Trade to call for #BoycottDivestmentSanctions against #ApartheidIsrael
Trade Unionists stand with Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸💪🏿💪🏿👬👬👬
Today our members on strike visited the Cabinet Office & Gov Property Agency at their fancy conference
You can't laud government contracts while the workers are on strike for fair pay & T&Cs, & while you refuse to meet with us
It's time to #MakeWorkPay for all government workers
#HeartUnions
🚨 Happening tomorrow, Thursday 12 February, at 10am
Demo for Palestine 🇵🇸
Department for Business & Trade, London
Oppose genocide - Oppose arms sales - Support workers refusing to be complicit

Today in UFW History: On February 12, 1969, as part of the UFW grape boycott, British dock workers refused to unload more than 70,000 lbs. of California grapes. #UnionsForAll #Solidarity
We hope to end outsourcing but if it is to remain, it must not be at the expense of workers' rights & union rights
An important message for #HeartUnions week here in the UK
And highlights the importance of our dispute against the UK government to ensure dignity for our lowest paid workers
We've been on strike for the past 5 months (!!!) under his government
Here we were today outside his department, the Dept for Business & Trade celebrating the @tuc.org.uk #HeartUnions week
We ❤️ unions so much we're growing our family with members at No 10 set to strike from 24 Feb for a month
Here 👇 is Justin Madders, posting about #HeartUnions week
He is totally right & we're fighting at his Department for fair pay & better rights at work
Will he also give our members - his workers - the biggest boost to their rights in a generation?
Our members at No 10 & Cabinet Office have had enough of low pay & broken promises
They will join their colleagues across Whitehall on strike
Do politicians who claim to #HeartUnions & claim they will #MakeWorkPay have no shame about the low pay & exploitative conditions in their own departments?
On the picket line again, telling the government that we #HeartUnions and Hate Outsourcing
Why won't the government taking the #EmploymentRightsBill through parliament #MakeWorkPay for their own workers?
@tuc.org.uk
We're loud & standing strong outside the Dept 4 Business & Trade demanding fair pay & better than the bare min conditions imposed by rogue contractors G4S & ISS, the Cabinet Office & @georgiagould.bsky.social
Together we're stronger. Together we will win. Venceremos! 💪
#HeartUnions @tuc.org.uk
