Great result ✊

Have we written a song about La Pasionaria?

Yep - watch this space! Hear it live at our May Day performance, hosted by UofGCulture and Glasgow Trade Unions (it's almost fully booked).

Excellent.
If we want to win we must learn from our past. Standing on the shoulders of giants we can learn so much

'Better to die on your feet than live for ever on your knees'

– Dolores Ibárruri, la Pasionaria

Ahead of Unite's upcoming STUC fringe event, we have been receiving solidarity messages from elected officials for our #KeepGrangemouthWorking campaign - Richard Leonard MSP

Our Scottish comrades successfully campaigned & won recognition for miners convicted or cautioned during the strike. This will be a cracking event marking not just the 40th anniversary but celebrating a campaign hard fought & well won #MinersStrike40 #MinersStrike40 thAnniversary

Great line-up for what is always an enjoyable end to the May Day celebrations.

I’m backing Unite’s Keep Grangemouth Working campaign to extend, invest in and transition work at the refinery.

The whole movement needs to get behind this call for a clear commitment in Labour’s general election manifesto to pardon and compensate the victimised miners.

Some much-needed common sense from Dani Garavelli

Stop arming Israel, support an immediate ceasefire, release all the hostages, feed the people, start rebuilding Gaza, end the illegal occupation.

Solidarity with @Aslef_Scotland as they take action in defence of their working conditions and to secure their first pay rise in five years.

Solidarity with these civil servants and PCS Union. End arms exports now.

No new Modern Apprenticeships in Scotland for the foreseeable future. stf.org.uk/freeze-on-new-…

As some of us have been saying for months, stop arming the Israeli government.

For Tribune, I’ve written about the election of Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah at Glasgow University & why his landslide victory is so important.

With rail in public ownership under the so-called 'constraints of devolution' why can't we do the same for buses too?

At this rate, do you think the Scottish government is on target to convert 1 million homes to green energy by 2030?

Public ownership of ScotRail should mean more say in how our services are run. Safety matters. Good question at Scottish Parliament yesterday from Richard Leonard #KeepTheGuardOnTheTrain

Richard Leonard RMT RMT remain firmly in dispute with Scot Rail
Guard on the train & if the guard does not turn up train is cancelled - what is unacceptable is a driver having control of the doors & dispatch - have Scot rail learned anything from carmont - this dispute is all about safety
