. @Another_Europe AEIP have publicised my branch's Fix Brexit motion https://www.anothereurope.org/the-fix-brexit-motion/ If you like it, take it to your union branch, (if not GMB, you'll need to change some of the words.)

We decided what to send Congress last night. Thanks to those members who got there and voted. https://www.gmblcgx58.org.uk/what-we-want-from-congress/

You couldn't make this up. He had no choice but to own up, caught red handed once again with the lies. He and anyone else present or complicit should resign now!

It's time for Congress motions, my mind turns to the legality of non-compete clauses, in particular for low paid workers in the personal seriveces industries; https://www.gmblcgx58.org.uk/non-compete/ let's see if we can make things better for them.

Total solidarity with GMB refuse workers on strike in Eastbourne today. All workers deserve fair pay and safety at work- their fight is our fight. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-sussex-59837557

What's this? Non-compete clauses in zero hour contracts, I don't think so!

There's a bunch of vacancies in the GMB, checkout our jobs board ... https://www.gmb.org.uk/jobs

We can't fight this new wave of virus by making people choose between self-isolating and putting food on the table. Statutory sick pay is just £96 per week. Could Tory ministers live off that? No - so they shouldn't expect others to. We need sick pay at Real Living Wage levels.

I write https://davelevy.info/wiki/uk-employee-protection-and-the-eu-ilo/ having looked at the ILO pages. I find the TUC cites breaches in modern slavery, forced labour, labour inspection & the worst forms of child labour conventions but the UK's biggest #employeeprotection gap is the need for two years longevity.

An important extension of rights if it happens. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/dec/09/brexit-may-not-stop-eu-gig-economy-reforms-uk

FDA claims a major victory in Patel bullying case https://www.union-news.co.uk/fda-claims-a-major-victory-in-patel-bullying-case/ I say it's a shame that they left sanctions in the hands of the PM; the judgement that decisions on bullying are subject to Judicial Review is important; let's hope it applies to us all.
