Powerful and inspiring speech by Mick Lynch of @RMTunion at the annual S.O. Davies lecture in Merthyr Tydfil.
I fully agree that we must work together, building alliances in our communities to grow a movement for transformative change.

Please come and listen and have your say.
Working together we can make a positive difference for the many, not the few.

Come to our Port Talbot #SupportUKSteel day on 1st September.
Bring your kids, family and friends for a free meal, live music, stalls and free activities including a bouncy castle, face painting, crafts and games.

Everyone is welcome - let’s show we're united in defending jobs and our communities!
It's voting day today! You have until 10pm.
Though after people being turned away last General Election because of queues, make sure you leave plenty of time.

We learned more about this historic dispute from a @tatasteeluk shop steward at our branch meeting last week. We've contributed to their strike fund and encourage all trade unionists to show #solidarity
WELSHMEN NEVER YIELD
Our members at @tatasteeluk #PortTalbot and #Llanwern begin all-out indefinite STRIKE ACTION on 8th July - the first #steel strike in over 40 years, fighting to save jobs, communities and the future of the industry.

Our South Wales Valleys have a strong tradition of standing against injustice, oppression & racism.
I'm horrified to see Reform launch its 'manifesto' in Merthyr Tydfil.
We must unite & express our outrage, spreading our message of hope, equality, tolerance, peace & justice.
We are a big supporter of @BethWinterCynon and everything she has done for Cynon Valley, and the UK as a whole. She has written an article about the @labour manifesto, and we think this is an important read.
We need a party that supports the working class.

The Labour Party manifesto lacks the ambition needed to deliver for Cymru.
It fails to offer the redistribution of wealth and power owed to us.
It's time for progressives to unite to win a fairer, greener, socialist future.
My piece in @NationCymru 👇

'The current neoliberal orthodoxy is failing to deliver for Cymru. The cost-of-living crisis is widening economic inequality, poverty is increasing, and life expectancy is falling' ✍️@BethWinterCynon

Our solidarity visit to the Cardiff University Gaza protest camp. With delegates from @NEUCymru @UNISONWales @PCS_Wales_Cymru @UniteWales For mass workers' struggle to end the slaughter!
Our second motion at #TUCCymru50 was to fight for parents experiencing baby loss before 24 weeks gestation to have a right to compassionate leave.
We are hugely relieved that it passed, too. Thank you to @thecsp for seconding this important motion.
#BabyLoss #WorkersRights
Our secretary at @walestuc's congress this week, moving the motion for free school meals for ALL children in Wales.
We are very pleased to say the motion passed.
No child should go hungry. This is a step to realising that right.

Thank you so much to @NEUCymru for seconding this important motion, and to delegates for sharing their stories of how important free school meals are for children to learn and thrive.
