🚨 The way in which workers have been treated by @brewdogofficial is nothing short of a national disgrace and the Directors responsible must be held to account.
We are now working with members to ensure that they receive everything they are entitled to.

Workers at the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel in Manchester city centre have taken the historic decision to unionise at one of the largest hotel chains in the world✊
In the days after submitting a collective grievance, staff faced derogatory comments for engaging in Union activity and refusal from management to even consider the request for formal union recognition - a basic workers’ right.
More seriously, they believe they are being subject to Union Victimisation through suspected breach of surveillance laws and the suspension of a team member involved in the union.
Three workers involved in the campaign have said:
"Breaking our backs for lazy management that don’t care about our wellbeing in and out of work has to stop. Having our concerns repeatedly ignored has forced us to join together to fight for a better workplace."
"Hospitality workers face some of the lowest pay and worst working conditions in the UK. We are just asking for basic things like respect & dignity"
“IHG had a 13% increase in operating profit to $1.27 billion in 2025 yet have chosen to to union bust instead of engage with the real concerns of it's staff"
Our union is calling for Kimpton Hotel management to acknowledge the collective grievances and open discussion with their staff 📣

On Thursday, I stood with @GlasgowUnite workers on the picket lines at @vuecinemas and @Village_Hotels, fighting for a real living wage and union recognition.
I then joined the demonstration supporting Palestine hunger strikers at Nelson Mandela Place. Keir Starmer’s Labour government is going to let these young people die. As a movement, we won’t allow that to happen.

From 2am, in freezing temperatures, we were forced to protest for more than 12 hours before an ambulance was finally dispatched to HMP Bronzefield so that Qesser Zuhrah could receive the urgent medical care she needs.
Just as Keir Starmer’s Labour government has enabled genocide in Gaza, it is now enabling the deaths of Palestine solidarity hunger strikers inside UK prisons.
We demand immediate bail for all remand political prisoners.

❓Here's a challenge: Can you name another dispute where agency workers, brought in to break a strike, have balloted for strike action and voted yes?
✊ Solidarity to Unite's members at @jobandtalent_hq 100% of whom voted for strike action, alongside the 99% at @BhamCityCouncil who voted to continue striking

BREAKING: 110,000 Tommy Robinson protesters have blocked off all exits from Whitehall, kettling the anti-fascist demonstrators.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨
Senior management at @Village_Hotels have announced a £400 “goodwill” payment to all non-striking staff at their flagship Glasgow site, citing a “difficult month.”
This is more than just an “award” — it is a blatant attempt to undermine union organisation, weaken lawful strike action, and bypass the collective bargaining process.
In practice, it’s a strike-breaking payment.
