It's a shame that the current administration can't work with ACORN as @housingpaul did. But ACORN members know we can't depend on fair-weather politicians to give us what we need for secure, affordable housing and decent, dignified lives. We have to win it for ourselves.

WHITEWASH! 🚨
STITCHUP! 🚨
This afternoon we stormed the Living Rent Commission meeting! The Commission is a group of organisations set up to tackle the renting crisis. It has been stitched up by @MarvinJRees , who banned ACORN but decided to invite plenty of landlords.

Animation Domination! That's right, production workers at #TheSimpsons, #AmericanDad & #FamilyGuy have filed to unionize under the #AnimationGuild! Together, they boast more that 750 years of animation industry experience - let's show them some respect! #productionstrong

Absolute state of it.
Our branch, run by couriers, has no interest in cosy partnerships or deals with exploitative companies like @Deliveroo
Since 2016 IWGB deliveroo members have been successfully organising to win higher pay and better conditions across the UK.

HUGE VICTORY! The government has approved of Oxford’s ‘selective licensing scheme’. All privately rented homes now need a license ensuring their homes are safe.
We organised, took on the landlord lobby, and won🏆

ACORN members and residents of Corbett House in Redfield met today with a constituency rep for @ThangamMP.
They spoke of the terrible conditions in their block and neglect shown by @BristolCouncil. How will Thangam stand up for her constituents and hold the Council to account?

Carmen and her two kids face being evicted illegally in just two weeks.
Today we marched on her letting agent. Safe to say they weren't pleased to see us! But we'll be coming back until they give Carmen and her kids a guarantee that they can stay put in their family home.

A massive thank you to the Icelandic Confederation of Labour for their letter of support for the @LockwoodLKWD workers facing unlawful redundancy.
Iceland has some of the strongest labour laws in the world, making @hallibjornsson's actions even more shameful.

Nottingham-based Lockwood Publishing is making 10% of its staff redundant just before Christmas.
I share the @IWGBunion's concerns that the process they are using is unlawful.
I've written to @LockwoodLKWD. This redundancy process should be halted immediately.

I'm deeply sad that we've been forced to make this public, but immeasurably proud of my friends and colleagues who are standing up for their rights and, despite their awful experiences, still trying to push our industry forward. They're an awesome team.

The legal system that protects the rich has left ACORN w/out representation in an upcoming case. This isn’t a one off; we get a new threat weekly. We need your help to ensure we can keep fighting back - can you chip in to our legal fund? gofund.me/bf68defe

Property developers, insurance companies, and a legal system that was designed to work against our interests have left ACORN without legal representation in an upcoming case.

Given how little care this lot have for their tenants, it’s no surprise they’re happy to drive into ACORN members with their car, but it is absolutely disgusting. We won’t be intimidated by these cowards, and this behaviour will only backfire on them.
