Hundreds of NHS workers are blockading the entrance to NHS England’s headquarters in central London demanding the cancellation of its contract with Palantir, which supplies advanced technology to Israel’s military.

NEW🚨Cleaners working at the Department for Education's Sanctuary Buildings have today instructed their union, United Voices of the World (UVW), to launch a ballot for industrial action.

They say that despite working in the DfE’s buildings, the cleaners get worse annual leave...

The minimum wage is going up TODAY! Check check whether you are owed a pay rise in this video and join us if you want to fight for more!

In UVW we fight for the real deal.

UVW's members at the Department for Education are voting to strike over low pay, bullying managers & worse benefits than civil servants. Watch this space for picket line times soon! Thank you

You can tell by the HUGE GRIN that I am proud to rep my union United Voices of the World and speak alongside Bella, the amazing care worker, who with her colleague’s took strike action in the harshest of conditions during a global pandemic.

The brave UVW cleaners at the Department for Education have had enough of being ignored by their bosses & treated like 2nd class citizens. They've instructed UVW to launch their 2nd strike ballot in a year over equality with civil servants.
