#OnThisDay in 1855 Eleanor Marx, a co-founder of our union, was born.   Eleanor was at the forefront of the fight for the 8 hour working day and consistently fought for justice.   Today we celebrate her achievements and use them to reinvigorate our drive to make change.

Three years on since construction and outsourcing giant Carillion went bust and yet the Government still haven't learned the lessons. This issue is at the heart of what’s wrong with outsourced services - when things go wrong nobody takes responsibility. https://www.gmb.org.uk/news/dire-government-failed-hold-carillion-account

Three years ago today, Carillion, the construction and outsourcing conglomerate went bust. On this anniversary @bigbobwylie writes about some who paid the price for the Carillion catastrophe and others who didn’t. https://www.gmb.org.uk/long-read/calls-public-enquiry-carillion-bosses-face-disqualification

This Government made promises to protect and not weaken workers’ rights. We won’t stand by if Ministers force workers to work longer hours and lose paid holiday. Our workers across the UK deserve better. https://www.gmb.org.uk/news/plan-rip-workers-rights-will-be-confronted-says-gmb

Centrica has been and remains a profitable business. The scale of the cuts and changes the business has said it will now impose by fire and rehire is not justified. It’s entirely unnecessary and these figures lay that bare. #StopTheBritishGasFire https://gmb.org.uk/news/centrica-trading-update-underlines-british-gas-has-been-and-remains-profitable-business

British Gas has let its customers down. It’s only right that they now face questions from the regulator about management failings that have betrayed dedicated staff and loyal customers alike. #StopTheBritishGasFire https://gmb.org.uk/news/mp-fca-should-investigate-british-gas-broken-homecare-insurance-terms

Stopping what is happening at British Gas is in the UK Government’s hands. They must act to ban fire and rehire. #StopTheBritishGasFire

Thank you to @AnnaMcMorrin for raising the concerns of British Gas members in Parliament today. The message to Centrica bosses couldn't be clearer: drop your fire and rehire threats now and get back around the table. #PMQs #StopTheBritishGasFire

It's absolutely shocking. This is what happens when profit becomes a motive in public services. The Government needs to sort this out - and sort it out now - with proper funding for free school meals and an end to profiteering in public services. https://www.gmb.org.uk/news/school-workers-union-calls-urgent-free-school-meals-action

Children rely on free school meals. The images and reports of utterly derisory food packages families are receiving are scarcely believable. This is what happens when profit-chasing private companies get important health contracts. The govt needs to step in and sort it out.

Jeff Bezos is beyond wealthy. In fact, if he divvied up the increase in his wealth since last March amongst the 1.2 million global Amazon workforce they would receive more than £43,000 each. It's time Bezos stopped being cheap on workers' rights. https://www.gmb.org.uk/news/bezos-amazon-worker-covid-bonus-pandemic-wealth
