Workplaces with union facilities time are proven to be safer (with fewer incidences of occupational illness and injury)

You'd think it might be a factor for a governemnt overseeing record levels or work-related ill health

In the NW we have had our Metro Mayors Steve Rotheram & Andy Burnham leading the way on bringing buses back into public control. Great to see The Labour Party will do this nationwide. These policies will transform lives in Knowsley.

The NHS is affordable.

Two weeks ago, on March 27th, my beautiful Mum passed away aged 87. We’ll say goodbye to her next Thursday. She was quite simply a boss Mum. 💔😢

We at Trades Union Congress could provide Esther McVey with a significant list of reasons why paid time off for union duties actually represents EXCELLENT value for money. But I doubt she’s arsed about actual facts.

They said a Minimum Wage wouldn't work, but it was later described as the most successful economic policy in a generation.

Now, Labour's New Deal for Working People will be as radical. It will:

It would be good to see the government & train operating companies learn a lesson from ASLEF TfL & Sadiq Khan - sit down, have meaningful negotiations, resolve differences.

Remember when Amazon's 'Just Walk Out' grocery stores were hailed as the future of shopping? With no checkouts and fewer workers?

Well, it turns out the shops relied on 1,000 workers in India watching and manually adding up items in your trolley.

Brick travel You posted this disgusting racist tweet yesterday (which you have now deleted). You should be called out by every right minded Evertonian. This is not representative of our club nor Blues.
Disgusting and shameful

A good response to an appalling racist tweet. However the way allocate away tickets needs reviewing. The present system is in danger of creating a hierarchy of fans that, as we’ve seen, can become toxic. The system needs opening up.
