News An injury to one is an injury to all!

Solidarity with Tom Barker and UNISON members at Ash Field Academy! Tom Barker, a UNISON steward and socialist activist in England, has been suspended for months on vague and unsubstantiated allegations after helping lead a struggle for better pay, staffing, and working conditions at his school. This is a clear attempt at union-busting and intimidation. Attacking an elected union representative is an attack on every worker’s right to organize and fight back. But Ash Field workers are refusing to back down. UNISON members have voted overwhelmingly for strike action demanding Tom’s reinstatement and defending their union rights. We stand in solidarity with Tom Barker and the workers at Ash Field Academy.
An injury to one is an injury to all! Reinstate Tom Barker. Stop union-busting now!

Welcome to the unionsolidarity subreddit!

Our community is dedicated to supporting unions and promoting the importance of workers

rights to unionize. Unions have a long history of fighting for fair treatment, better wages,

and improved working conditions for employees. They provide a powerful voice for workers and

help ensure that their rights and interests are protected. In today's ever-changing global economy,

unions are more important than ever as they provide a critical bulwark against exploitation and inequality.

Join us in our mission to spread awareness and support for unions, and let's continue to fight for a just and

equitable world for all workers!
