1300 striking workers from #Amazon Coventry getting ready to win a ballot for union recognition in their workplace

Can’t think of a better way to celebrate May Day ✊
#InternationalWorkersDay

Hugely proud of GMB Union and Foxglove for taking on #Amazon bosses’ outrageous union busting

That moment when parody meets reality…

Today’s strike action at #Amazon Coventry has seen a record number of workers join GMB Union and stand together on the picket line

They’ve decided solidarity is best for them

And it’s certainly not this union busting nonsense from the bosses

Boom 💥✊

Over 100 Coventry shoppers stopped to show their support this morning - they back workers demands to end pay discrimination at Coventry City Council 👏

This is a Valentine’s Day card council bosses won’t forget on a hurry. ❤️

Hey Amazon.co.uk
Why are your managers in Coventry telling workers union recognition means lower pay when the research says the opposite?
Are you getting a bit twitchy ‘cause so many workers are ignoring your union busting and joining GMB Union?

#OnThisDay in 1855: Eleanor Marx, a co-founder of our union, was born.
 
Eleanor was at the forefront of the fight for the 8 hour working day and consistently fought for justice 🪧
 
Today we celebrate her achievements and use them to reinvigorate our drive to make change 🙌

Amazon bosses spend a huge amount of time and money trying to keep GMB Union out of the warehouses

They’ve failed

Our members are the union and they’re already there!

Great to catch up with some of our newly elected Reps from #Amazon Coventry tonight ✊

Does your boss take the credit for success, but blame you when things go wrong?

Does your boss pull into the car park in a posh new car, but say there’s not enough money for your pay rise?

If you’ve answered yes, make 2024 the year you unionise your workplace ✊🥳

IT IS ON: Birmingham’s equal pay strike ballot starts tomorrow.

Enough delay, enough uncertainty.

GMB members are tired of being kept in the cold and demand answers.

This is a #BlackFriday that will change #Amazon forever

Workers from 5 countries striking to demand decent pay, conditions and a union voice in their workplaces

Together we are strong ✊

Good work by GMB Midlands colleagues like Stuart Richards and others in building a strong, lay-led workers organisation at Amazon.

This has been a long fight with a great many setbacks but they continue to persevere and show that trade unionism is here for the 21st C.

Solidarity.

Tomorrow 👇

It’s #EqualPayDay so pretty apt that I’ll be joining GMB Midlands Reps in #BirminghamCityCouncil today and continuing the fight for #PayJustice
