For Amazon to be held up as some kind of model of good practice for infection control would be hilarious if it wasn’t deadly serious. They only began to take coronavirus seriously after sustained pressure from GMB. https://www.gmb.org.uk/news/amazon-gives-coronavirus-advice-while-their-own-workers-fear-infection

This is a matter of value and recognition. Workers in health and social care have put their lives on the line for everyone else's sake. They've been let down on PPE, on testing and on pay. Now's the time to recognise their true value 👇 https://www.gmb.org.uk/news/nhs-contractors-staff-care-workers-must-have-full-pay-during-track-trace-isolation

Coronavirus may not discriminate, but our systems, institutions, policies, practices and economy do. We need answers. That is why GMB is calling for an independent public inquiry and many have started to join our call. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/covid-phe-report_uk_5ed769a8c5b652da525ae4a1?iv

People are dying and Ministers have been too slow to protect lives. We're calling for an independent public inquiry on the government’s response to coronavirus and its impact on BAME lives. We need answers, not delays. https://www.gmb.org.uk/news/delay-covid-19-bame-deaths-report-heightens-distrust

School staff, parents, councils and top scientists ALL agree – opening schools more widely today poses too great a risk. But the government has ploughed on regardless. https://www.gmb.org.uk/news/80-percent-parents-not-sending-children-back-school-poll

Govt ministers on whopping salaries just don't get it 🙅‍♀️ They expect workers to go to unsafe jobs using unsafe public transport - and then survive on £95 a week when #COVID19 means self-isolation 😤 Without FULL sick pay Track & Trace will just help spread poverty & infection.

The #equalpayact was fought for and won by women organising through their unions & a Labour Govt taking action. But 50 years on we still don't have equal pay. We won't wait another 50 years. #JoinAUnion 👉 https://labourunions.org.uk/join-a-union/ https://t.co/ydXvW2ER2Q

This is a really anxious time for school staff in England. We believe schools should only be opening doors to more pupils when safe systems are in place for children, parents, staff & the wider community. Our updated guidance is here👇 https://www.gmb.org.uk/coronavirus/covid-19-staying-safe-while-working-schools

50 years on from the Equal Pay Act and we're still waiting for real equality. The high-skilled, predominantly women care workforce - who've sacrificed so much during #COVID19 - MUST be properly valued. #EqualPayAct #EqualPay50 #keyworkers https://www.gmb.org.uk/news/equal-pay-act-50-highly-skilled-women-care-workforce

Keep our regions flying 🇬🇧✈️ Those working in or around airports have been some of the worst-hit by COVID-19. They were sent home first and will be among the last to return to normal.

This is disappointing. The Govt decision to plough on with a wider reopening of schools goes against independent advice on reducing new COVID cases. We want staff back at work & pupils back in the classroom - but only when it's absolutely safe for all👇 https://www.gmb.org.uk/news/gmb-govts-wider-schools-reopening-disappointing

Workers across local governments have helped keep us safe from #COVID19 They've also long been underpaid. And with a new below-par deal on the table, join @RehanaAzam and others from the movement to discuss next steps. @labourunionsuk go LIVE at 6pm 👇 https://www.crowdcast.io/e/localgov/register?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=profile_web&utm_campaign=profile
