📢✊ Public service workers have been holding our services together for years. Enough is enough.
They cannot keep being asked to do more with less.
They show up for us every day. Now tell the government: show up for them.

Didn’t get the results you were hoping for? Don’t panic.
Put the kettle on, take a breath and remember; you still have plenty of options.
Talk to your school or college to find advice and support.
#ResultsDay
We want to say a huge congratulations to all students getting their A-level, T-level, and vocational qualification results today! 🎉

Climate change is significantly impacting worker safety and health, exposing them to higher daily temperatures and more frequent, severe heatwaves.
Sign the union-backed petition to tell the HSE that we need a maximum working temperature. #heatwave

This week, professional service staff at several unis across the UK are on strike due to the insulting pay cut received in the 2025/26 pay offer. Every year uni staff face pay cuts - they deserve better. Solidarity with all those taking action today.✊ #fundourfuture #fundourpay

Education unions are calling on the govt., employers, and technology providers to commit to involving educators and their unions at every stage of AI and EdTech adoption.
AI alone cannot fix underfunding, staff shortages and overwhelming workloads.
