This is the Unite policy on Palestine. I do not believe that our Secretary General and EC have any intention of following this policy to the letter. You won’t find it on the Unite web-site. I got this from the United Left web site (https://www.unitedleft.org.uk/unite-policy-on-palestine/).

Hands around parliament at 2x speed. Bless them all.

TIME AWAY TO SEARCH FOR WORK WHILST IN REDUNDANCY CONSULTATION!

Those that have after work commitments can negotiate in work time leave and to be flexible on length of time away. 👇

Taken from the Internet!

The legal answer
The law does allow employees to take reasonable time off during working hours to look for a new job or make arrangements for training for future opportunities. This right applies to employees who have been given notice of redundancy and who have worked for you for at least two continuous years by the date their notice expires.

What’s reasonable?
Unfortunately for employers, the law doesn’t specify what constitutes ‘reasonable’ time off. What is reasonable to some may not be reasonable to others; some employees may want to focus heavily on their next move and expect the freedom to explore every possible avenue of alternative employment, while others may be happy to scour job boards in their own time and only ask for time off to attend interviews. Of course, you may have your own ideas about what is reasonable in these situations.

In reality, what is reasonable will differ depending on the individual circumstances of each case. Should it go as far as an employment tribunal, it will come down to a careful consideration of the employers’ needs and the interest of the employee to find work. A tribunal will take into account:

the impact the absence would have on the business;
the length of the employee’s notice period;
how much notice they have given you of their intention to take time off; and
local difficulties in finding alternative employment.

It is therefore a good idea to weigh up these factors before denying an employee’s request for time off

I have almost no faith in the UK gov’t petition system but this is worth a try.
Petition: Require train operators keep ticket offices and platform staff at train stations

Petition: Require train operators keep ticket offices and platform staff at train stations We want the Government to require train operators keep ticket offices and platform staff at train stations, to help maintain health and safety standards and customer information.

This message is from our friends at Hope Sings Eternal:
There is a peaceful, positive event being organised in solidarity with refugees at Scampton on 12th August at 12 noon. More specific details to be confirmed, but Hope Sings Eternal will be there to sing some songs; there will be a fire engine (and firefighters) there supporting; people from Nottingham and from Chesterfield Stand Up To Racism groups and Lincoln TUC … If anyone would like to come and sing with us,or just come along to stand in solidarity with refugees,that would be amazing. The timing co-incides with a planned “camp out” by extreme far right groups in a private field nearby. There may also be refugees arriving that weekend, although we cannot be sure about this. Please share this widely…we need as many friendly people as possible to show that there is a different way to view the world.

Train operators have announced plans to close up to 1,000 ticket offices. We have only 21 days to take part in the public consultation. Can you take two minutes to respond to your train company’s consultation and object to the closure of ticket offices? The RMT has prepared template letters for each train operator.🚆 Please have your say 👉

Save Ticket Offices Over the last year the RMT has been campaigning against the DfT managed train companies’ plans for wholesale ticket office closures.
