We stand together in solidarity with 1,416 garment workers dismissed from NEXT’s only unionised factory in Sri Lanka.
What happens to workers abroad matters here too. Companies undermine unions while their CEO lobbies against labour protections here in the UK.

This is what happens when you don't teach people what "colonised" means

RT @propublica New: In 1992, Cicih Sukaesih led fellow Indonesian factory workers in a strike, part of a movement that led Nike to create its first code of conduct. She reflects on her achievements & what’s happened since. cc @followthethings @labourlabel propublica.org/article/nike-…
Cicih Sukaesih stood up to exploitation & #WageTheft in a @Nike-producing factory. She and 17 fellow #workers ("troublemakers", according to the shoe giant) lost their jobs for #Protest.
#Indonesia's highest court ruled in their favor, but they settled for pennies on the dollar.

Tomorrow morning unionised transport workers are protesting at the Home Office against the deportation of their colleagues.
MIGRANT WORKERS KEEP OUR PUBLIC SERVICES RUNNING!
If you're taking the day off to protest Donald Trump's visit - this would be a great place to start! 💪

❌ALARMING❌The Israeli government's formally announced intention to permanently annex the entire occupied West Bank is such a serious and egregious violation of int'l law, that if not halted, the collapse of the multilateral system built on universal principles (such as sovereignty, self-determination, primacy of int'l law) will be unavoidable.
BREAKING: In a joint statement, #Israel's co-ministers of defense @Israel_katz (Likud) and @bezalelsm (Religious Zionism) confirm the government's intention to permanently acquire, colonize, and annex the entirety of the occupied West Bank, at the expense of #Palestinian sovereignty.

That’s just a curiosity…
The impact of new trade protectionism (on top of aid cuts) on developing and emerging economies is profound…
Hundreds of billions spent climbing value chains to participate in global trade that helped reduce global poverty…risks going up in smoke.

Today is equal pay day - the day when women effectively stop getting paid because of the gender pay gap.
At current rates it will take 16 years to close this gap.
The employee rights bill is vital for women’s pay and equality:
✅ Day 1 rights against unfair dismissal, sick pay & parental leave
✅ Day 1 flexible working rights
✅ Extended redundancy and unfair dismissal protections for pregnant and new parents
✅ Ban zero-hours contracts
