My ballot paper in the Unite the Union elections has just come through.
Now which candidates want to stop funding Labour (and not just the 'blank cheques' talk of the recent leadership), understand that climate change and the environment is the biggest threat we face long term and want to fuck with the status quo in general shaking trees until we start to see some change?
I have votes in West Mids, service industry and disability sections.

Has anyone got any good recommendations for a union for retail? I was with gmb some years ago and they were crap. I switched to RBA and they were okay, I mean they at least responded. I left when I lost my job during lockdown. When I tried to get back in, they acted really strange and very red flaggy, not at all like they used to be. No one answered when I phoned but they refused to answer any questions about membership.
I'm with #UniteTheUnion at the moment and they have only ever got back to me once. So I'm wondering what exactly I'm paying them for. That included ignoring reports of physical abuse from my manager.
I've heard usdaw are kinda crap too, are there any good unions here at all?

Unite against TU Victimisation
#UniteTheUnion doesn't tolerate the victimisation of its reps by employers. Today our members in the North West are showing what solidarity looks like.
It's time @ucu ended the victimisation of Marie, our Health & Safety Officer.
