The Chancellor’s speech was full of hope and optimism for a reindustrialised Britain. From shipyards in Devon, to Merseyside, Rolls-Royce in Derby to the banks of the Clyde. GMB members across the UK can’t wait to get started on a steady drum beat of work that can transform their communities.

Labour was elected on a promise to fix a broken Britain. Workers and communities are crying out for a better future. We need action to put our industries, communities, and our country back where we belong. #Lab26

On International Equal Pay Day we highlight the fact, on average women earn so much less than men it’s as if they stop being paid today for the rest of the year. Our members have had enough, employers must deliver equal pay for equal work & reduce the gender pay gap. #EqualPay

When are politicians, both at a Scottish and UK level, going to end the madness of watching skilled workers be sacked while awarding contracts abroad? When will we see the thousands of renewables jobs we’ve been promised being created in UK yards?

This is a failure of both the Scottish and UK Governments. Our shipyards should be full of work, including work supporting the renewables industry. Instead, we have empty yards, broken promises and tugs for Faslane being built abroad.

Building data centres could create huge opportunities for unionised construction jobs. Scotland has lots of water and wind farms that we have to pay to turn off. Building new nuclear to help power data centres would be great for jobs and the economy.
