What will our reps take away from Retail Trades Conference to benefit members in their workplace? 🎤

What did our reps think of Retail Trades Conference? 🎤 We caught up with our brilliant reps to find out why last weekend's conference was so valuable for them 💜

"They're distraught... within a week they could be out of a job." We're urging Gordon Brothers to prioritise a unified buyer and protect the livelihood of 11,000 Poundland workers.

Thank you to Prime Minister Andy Burnham for his support of Poundland workers. It is unacceptable that the owners of Poundland rejected an offer that would have protected the livelihoods of 11,000 people. Gordon Brothers must prioritise a unified buyer and protect their workers now.

New trade union access rights start from today!! 🎉 Under the Employment Rights Act, trade unions will be able to speak directly with staff in workplaces across the UK, making it easier to reach, recruit and support workers 💜 Work in retail or distribution and not a trade union member yet? 🙋🏽‍♀️ Find out how we can support you at work ➡️ usdaw.org.uk/join-usdaw/

We are urging Gordon Brothers to protect the livelihoods of 11,000 people. Poundland’s future currently hangs in the balance as the majority owners refused a solvent bid from Martin Property group, which increased the probability that the business could fall into administration. This is not acceptable - Gordon Brothers must prioritise a unified buyer and protect their workers now.

🎤 We caught up with @JoanneGSUsdaw at last weekend's Retail Trades Conference to chat about organising, new access rights and the importance of joining a union 💜
