A group of absolute warriors!!
Women educating and empowering women, to fight for women’s rights and equal pay! What a story!
To our two female stalwarts who led this campaign @GMBMichelleH and @AliceRWolves this victory simply doesn’t happen without you both 🧡
These women have made history.
After a long fight, GMB can today announce that we've thrashed out a framework agreement for settling equal pay claims in Birmingham City Council.
A significant step towards pay justice. ✊
ALT Birmingham City Council workers rally outside the city's Council House with GMB flags and placards calling for equal pay. They are wearing GMB branded orange sashes that call for "pay justice".

Always a privilege to be with members in their workplace. For @nowak_paul to hear first hand why the #AirportWorkersAgainstAbuse campaign is so important will help members & those across the aviation sector build solidarity to make real change. Thanks @Nathankeets for organising
The absolute best bit of my job is meeting the reps and activists who fight and win for working people every day.
Massive thanks to the @GMB_union and @unitetheunion reps at British Gas, Swissport and DHL I met today.

Today is #EqualPayDay. ⚖️
For the first time in more than a decade, the gender pay gap has grown - pay inequality in the UK has gotten worse.
GMB women like Kim, Shirley and Mel are campaigning to end the undervaluation of women’s work.

It meant so much to speak for, and vote for, the Employment Rights Bill yesterday.
This legislation will make real improvements to the lives of low-paid workers. I'm proud to be part of a Labour Party that is making it happen.
Martin Allen retweeted
Proud to be part of a New Deal for Working People. Time to build our economy on good, secure jobs that put an end to in-work poverty and give workers the dignity they deserve ✊
Today, MPs have a chance to support the Employment Rights Bill – a vital first step in delivering the #NewDeal for Working People.
Every constituency in the country supports strengthening workers’ rights.

The Government’s move to back carbon capture tech is a big step in the right direction.
It shows what levelling up can really mean: good, well paid jobs in working class communities 🏭
It shows the country now has a serious industrial strategy - to rebuild after 14 wasted years
