UK & #EU MUST draw closer together the #TUC has urged. The #Brexit disaster has resulted in a weaker & more vulnerable UK. The advent of the #Trump administration, with its extortionist, cruel, incoherent policies & obsequiousness 2 Russia means #RejoinEU must be a top priority. https://shorturl.at/5fdGv #StandwithUkraine

“You know there’s a problem with Labour when EVEN the TUC just took a stronger stance on Israel”
by The Canary @thecanary @UKLabour
“The #TUC congress called for sanctions against those individuals and entities that have incited #genocide against #Palestinians. This is in marked contrast to Labour’s position of treating Israeli prime minister #Netanyahu as a key ally.”

Canary · You know there's a problem with Labour when EVEN the TUC just took a stronger stance on IsraelTUC delegates voted unanimously for a motion that reveals the inadequacy of the Labour government’s approach to Israel's genocide
Imo @UKLabour is fully a #Zionist-led, #Genocide-enabling political party! It should therefore be subject to the same #BDS actions as the murdering rogue state it endorses and enables - #Israel!
When will the Trades Union Congress urge its members to defund Labour? If not now, when?

Good that the majority was narrow and those, like Unison, in this case, not focussed on supposed sectional interests, made the right call. Unite need to wake up to the climate and ecological crisis.

A strong showing from our @ucu delegation to #TUC2024 this morning.
Our motions (64) Education is the engine of national renewal and (70) Prison Education passed, as did Composite 15 (C15) Attacks on the Teachers’ Pension Scheme which incorporates our amendment.

and it looks like you’ll be able to catch speech videos on the #TUC YouTube tmw too .

And one must try to understand the timing also. Next month will see both the #tuc and then the #labourparty holding their annual conferences. It would make sense for him to do his best to lower expectations before then . And the #budget and the #publicexpenditurereview will happen the following month.
Given the Tories prioritised the maintenance of profits under the varying conditions (from recession to lockdown) across their years of Government, we cannot be surprised that the TUC will seek to 'restore' pay levels (and living standards) to levels last seen around 2010..
However, of course while 'maintaining' profits is seen as a legitimate business policy, restoring living standards for workers is seen as special pleading & exceptional (now even by Labour).
American company #Mondelez International, a producer of chocolate and cookies including #Oreo, #Milka, #Toblerone, #Barny, and #Tuc, has decided not to disclose the financial statements of its Russian business for 2023, a move also adopted by #Nestle and #Mars.
For example, the company sold 9,800 tons of Milka chocolate in #Russia in just the first quarter of 2024 — six times more than projected for the same period.

The decision not to disclose data (a move also adopted by #Nestle and #Mars) demonstrates an attempt by consumer goods giants to avoid further reputational damage associated with their refusal to exit the market of the aggressor country.

The #UK has seen an “explosion” in insecure, low-paid #work in the past 14 years, according to a new report.
The #TUC said its study had found that the number of people in insecure work had reached a record high of 4.1 million
Analysis of official statistics shows number of people in precarious #employment – such as #ZeroHours contracts, low-paid self-employment & casual or seasonal work – increased ~1 million between 2011 & 2023

Today in Labor History May 4, 1926: Workers started a General Strike in the U.K. Unions called the strike to force the government to prevent wage reductions for 1.2 million locked-out coal miners. The strike lasted until May 12. Over 1.7 million workers participated. However, the TUC (Trades Union Congress) limited participation to just a few unions because they feared the revolutionary potential of a full blown General Strike. In their newspaper, they wrote: “The General Strike. . . is the road to anarchy.”
New research from the Trades Union Congress (TUC) shows that the average UK worker would be £10,400 a year better off if real wages had grown at their pre-financial crisis trend – the equivalent of £200 a week.
Before the financial crash UK real weekly wages grew on average by 1.7 per cent each year. Since 2008, average annual growth has been -0.2 per cent.
A huge transfer of wealth, from the poor to the rich.

It's #WorkYourProperHoursDay today.
“We’re encouraging every worker to take their lunchbreak and finish on time today, and we know that the best employers will support them doing that.
Most workers don’t mind putting in extra hours from time to time, but they should be paid for it"
TUC general secretary Paul Nowak
Hear, hear. We used to call it working to rule. In the last century, it was often more effective than strikes.

Today in Labor History January 31, 1919: Bloody Friday occurred when 60,000 demonstrators gathered in George Square, Glasgow, Scotland, in support of a strike. Police launched a vicious and unprovoked attack, bashing heads with their batons. Protesters retaliated with fists, broken bottles and iron railings, forcing the police to retreat. An estimated 10,000 British troops were sent to quash the battle. One cop died months later from injuries sustained during the battle. The strike occurred in the wake of World War I in response to high unemployment. The Scottish TUC and Clyde Workers’ Committee wanted to increase job openings by reducing the work week from 47 hours to 40.
