Our picket line at National Coal Mining Museum in #Wakefield sending solidarity greetings to the striking @GMB_union members at @BrightonMuseums. Our country's heritage is worth fighting for! @strike_map @unisonyh @unisontheunion #RoyalPavillion @TUC_NEYH

What I find funniest out of this is the story goes that the defence minister basically said "We must cover ALL the railways in the south coast, the line between Romney and Dymchurch will be our defences!" ...of course no one had told him it was 15 inch gauge.
During WWII the British 6th Battalion of the Somerset Light Infantry operated the miniature train, which was supplied with lighter weapons such as two .55-inch Boys anti-tank rifles and four Lewis guns at Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway (RH&DR) in Kent.🫡

Raymond and other @GMB_union @BrightonMuseums workers began strike action today. They're fighting an employer that wants to destroy their contract & conditions. Don't visit the Royal Pavilion & other museums on strike days. Join the next strike day on 15 April. #StrikeMap

BREAKING 🚨: £2.2bn in wages lost by school staff due to term-time only contracts 💷 Teachers are paid year round but other staff including teaching assistants miss out on pay 🙅

The SSSNB is an opportunity to finally recognise the value of support staff in our schools. That means a stronger voice, investment in training and development, and pay that reflects the job they do and the contribution they make.

People are literally doing looney tunes gags on ICE and we’re supposed to feel really bad about that
🚨 BREAKING: Rioters are now pouring BUCKETS OF WATER right outside the driveway of ICE Minneapolis in order to make agents SLIP AND FALL when they’re attempting to make arrests This is DISGUSTING. These degenerates are getting away with WAY too much.

#OnThisDay in 1855 Eleanor Marx, a co-founder of our union, was born. She was at the forefront of the fight for the 8 hour working day and consistently fought for justice & equality. Today we celebrate all her achievements 👏

I like in a nonfiction book when all the sudden there's a big break for a pictures section. The author's like "oh by the way these are the guys I was telling you about."

This is apocalyptic. For every kilometer of Ukraine’s front line, there are 2,900 kilometers of fiber-optic cable. Thousands of tons of fiber-optic battle waste litter Ukraine, and it will take decades to clean up.

Today is Equal Pay Day: the day women effectively stop earning compared to men. We fight inequality wherever we find it. That’s why GMB Union members have launched more than 25 equal pay claims at employers across the UK 👏

I am 100% sure if someone like Mamdani tried to stand as London mayor Labour would block him.
Inspirational campaign and victory for @ZohranKMamdani in NYC. Lessons for progressives the world over.

This isn't funny. Reenactors only do this when they're in extreme distress.
Medieval reenactors laid their kits down like action figure accessories and it looks amazing.

Hi Claire 👋 The workers need to be paid too - childcare costs money Hope this helps, 100,000 school support staff x
It’s not £450 a month, it’s a year. But even then… Bridget said it would be toast or cereal. But two slices of toast, porridge or cereal = c. 20p. With 190 school days. That’s £38. Say with some extras, 50p. That’s £95. ?
