Drivers at Maen Karne held a demonstration in Truro this week to highlight the appalling treatment they have received from their employer.
The company, owned by @GRSwegobeyond, continue to ignore the concerns of its workforce.

Unite attended the London construction awards last week to highlight the appalling treatment of HGV drivers in Cornwall employed by Maen Karne (GRS group).
Shame on @GRSwegobeyond #beyonddisgrace

Unite paid a visit to the London construction awards last week to highlight GRS’s disregard for the wellbeing of their workers. Further action is scheduled this week and will continue to escalate until GRS acknowledge the rightful concerns of its workforce. 2/2

Workers want their voices to be heard and @UKLabour need to make sure they're fighting for them. If they want to win the next election, people have to feel that they've got something to vote for. They have to feel that different choices are being made. @BBCWorldatOne interview ⬇️

Both Suez and South Glos council have ignored repeated requests by Unite to engage in talks to resolve the dispute.

Unite is proud to celebrate the Windrush generation on Windrush Day, 22 June.
We celebrate the dreams and success of those brave young people who persevered despite the racism they faced @UniteEqualities
Today Unite salute the Windrush community who came to Britain to help rebuild the country after WW2. The Empire Windrush arrived to Tilbury Dock 75 years ago. #JusticeforWindrush
