So proud to be involved in this #IWD2025 event hosted by @Unite_NorthWest women's committee. Speakers from @hazardscampaign #GetMeHomeSafely @WASPI_Campaign #VoiceofDomesticWorker and an advocate for the women of Afghanistan. Solidarity to amazing women fighting against injustice
Our recent @UniteEqualities statement in solidarity with Gisele Pelicot
Her decision to waive anonymity has exposed the utter depravity of the abuse and exploitation she suffered, and other women in our society.
#ShameMustChangeSides

Gisele Pelicot has delivered a statement after her ex-husband was sentenced to 20 years in prison
She said she 'never regretted' opening the doors of the trial, 'so society could see what was happening'.

Awful decision and failure to see this as a justice campaign is plainly wrong. @unitetheunion will continue to support @WASPI_Campaign in their fight for a fair settlement and recognition of the ombudsman’s ruling. @UniteEqualities – at Southport, England
"This has been an extremely difficult decision to take"
Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall says no compensation will be paid to women born in the 1950s hit by changes to the state pension age

Equality can be achieved through collective bargaining so please use your voice, get organised and push your employer to commit to fair pay agreements #EqualPayDay @UniteEqualities
unitetheunion.org/what-we-do… – at Hove, England
Today is equal pay day - the point in the year when, on average, women effectively work for free because of the gender pay gap
At current rates it will take 16 years to close this gap, but organised workers can drive change ✊
🖱️At the click of a button, with Unite's pay claim generator reps can insist on an equal pay audit as part of their pay claim

One of the Liverpool pickets of @unitetheunion members involved in the @Ford salary dispute. All we want is a fair contract and pay offer that members deserve.
🚨Ford nationwide strike starts tomorrow
💬Despite its huge wealth, @forduk has launched a direct attack on its office workers’ pay and terms and conditions. This is corporate greed!
Members have @unitetheunion's total support as they strike for a better deal. #strike #ford

What a brilliant conclusion to our @unitetheunion Women’s conference as our General Secretary @UniteSharon addresses the joint equality plenary. Equality issues are industrial issues!
What an incredible start to the @unitetheunion equality conferences as our women delegates set policy, reaffirmed our opposition to means testing the #Winterfuelallowance and demonstrated our support for the #Waspi women @WASPI_Campaign

It’s about time the focus is on preventing workers from experiencing sexual harassment. This is an important duty for employers to now comply with. #zerotolerance
As new sexual harassment laws come into force, Unite puts employers on notice. “Sexual harassment occurs across the economy – strong unions backed by effective legislation are essential for stamping it out” @UniteSharon
We will be making sure that employers are aware of their new legal responsibilities when it comes to preventing sexual harassment at work @unitetheunion
🚨 LEGAL UPDATE 🚨
From today, employers will have a legal duty to prevent and protect workers from 3rd party harassment from customers. Something which is all too common in our industry.
The Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act is something @unitetheunion has campaigned for since the duty was removed by the Tories in 2013.
We need this law to go further though, to obligate employers to take “all reasonable steps” to prevent harassment and to protect their workforce.

Absolutely- total ban on #zerohourcontracts
This insecurity disproportionately affects women workers
Imagine a 19 y/o minimum wage waiter having to negotiate with a multi-millionaire restaurant owner in order to get the hours they deserve.
The only antidote to the enormous power inequality that pervade our industry is collective bargaining and action.
This new legislation - while welcome - falls seriously short on some of the biggest promises made on zero hour contracts, fire & hire and trade union rights.

Thank you @LabourList for covering this important vote, pushed by our @unitetheunion Women’s Committee. Zero hour contracts disproportionately affect women and need to be completely banned @UniteEqualities – at Southport, England
Our women’s committee motion banning ALL zero hour contracts also passed at full @labour conference. Women are disproportionately affected by this kind of job insecurity so such an important issue for our union

No loopholes, no exceptions. @unitetheunion and now @UKLabour women say
“Zero hour contracts are a nightmare for workers, dream for bad bosses” All must be banned
Our #zerohours motion tops the ballot from Women’s conference and now moves to the floor of the full @labour conference. So proud of @unitetheunion women leading the way
"I've had friends who've refused to engage in inappropriate conversations with management and have also been removed off the rota. #Zerohour contracts allow management to abuse their power and inflict financial insecurity onto their young employees, mostly young women”
Unite delegate to Labour Women's Conference. Ban zero hours contracts now!
unitelive.org/unite-women-la…
No loopholes, no exceptions. @unitetheunion and now @UKLabour women say
“Zero hour contracts are a nightmare for workers, dream for bad bosses” All must be banned – at Southport, England
…..And it’s passed unanimously - Women at @labour conference want all zero hour contracts to be banned 💥
