The gov has failed to come to the table again, despite a letter asking them to negotiate. Therefore strikes have been announced today. Jobs and pay, we need movement on both, the current situation is untenable.

RMT members who clean the DLR and who are employed by Bidvest Noonan are back on the picket lines today - fighting for sick pay.
The current offer: One weeks pay - but ONLY if you're dying!
Share if that's unfair.

"Why I'll be on strike on 5 November."
PCS members working as civilian police staff in the Met Police will take strike action on 5 November over the Met’s refusal to pay them a £1250 consolidated allowance to meet the cost of living in London, that has been paid to police officers.
Read what the members have to say:

ALT Graphic reads: "“When police officers got their pay rise, management said they wanted them to not just live, but to thrive. We deal with the same threats, danger, and risks. Where is the desire for us to thrive?"
