UNISON warns risking a double dip recession
More than 200 delegates will come together at the TUC's annual disability conference in London today (Wednesday) to discuss the potential impact of the new Government on disabled people.
Job losses during the recession have so far not impacted disproportionately on disabled people, however a higher proportion of disabled people work in the public sector than the private sector.
Commenting on the CBI call today (Wednesday) for a two year freeze in the public sector pay bill, TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber said:
Unite the union has welcomed the announcement by the joint venture Caithness Solutions that it will bid for the contract to decommission Dounreay.
The priority is to gain assurances about the future of the remaining workforce and safeguard the jobs and terms and conditions of staff.
Unite is calling on Will Hutton to investigate glaring pay differentials in the not for profit sector.
An open top double decker "Brutish Airways" bus will head to the City of London.
TRANSPORT UNION RMT today issued a call for trade unionists and socialists to unite behind John McDonnell's bid to secure enough nominations to stand in the Labour Party leadership contest and to use his campaign as an opportunity to begin the fightback against the ConDem government's all-out assault on public services and living standards.
RAIL UNION RMT confirmed today that it will begin balloting guards on the East Coast Mainline for strike action, and action short of a strike, from Tuesday 25th May following the failure of the company to come up with an acceptable package to compensate guards for the loss of commission income arising from the introduction of automated ticket barriers.
