We cannot duck it or shy away from it: We have to take the fight to the far-right.

Thanks Mark, who is speaking for all who have felt ignored for too long. A new start for our union begins by listening to our workplace leaders.

The message in every London bus garage today: It’s time to act! I stand with bus workers demanding urgent action on extreme temperatures.

Following my unanswered challenge to Sharon Graham. I’ve written this open letter to our Executive Council on recent hustings, respect and unity.

Defending jobs and pay from AI & supply chain disruption is crucial for the Food Drink & Agriculture sector, an industry we all rely on. Thanks to every FDA branch that has nominated!

We will always support members in dispute. Proud to stand in solidarity with our great members in ADL fighting to improve pay and conditions and to defend the future of bus manufacturing in the UK.

What Martin and our members, working jointly with sister unions, have achieved at Scunthorpe is nothing short of incredible. Public ownership of steel must be followed by an energy strategy to secure jobs long term.

Procurement equals job security for critical sites like Hitachi, which is why a combined industrial & political strategy is so important. Great to be in Newton Aycliffe with Mark, Stacey & Andy and proud to have their support & nomination.

I spoke to GBC about supporting our members in Gibraltar facing privatisation, the misuse of zero hour contracts, and the threat of the far-right. m.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bho...

Our members in Gibraltar have a proud history of anti-fascism we can all draw inspiration from. Great to be here again talking with reps about standing up to the far-right today and restoring our union’s internationalism.

My pledge: It’s time to finally give the Unite Health sector the resources needed to restore pay, tackle burnout, protect safety & end privatisation.

It’s the start of another BIG week for nominations. Remember, branches need to give notice of nomination meetings, with Friday 19th being the last day to do so. The nomination period ends on June 28th.

Our priorities for civil aviation: Secure jobs, safety before profit, and fair pay and allowances.

After years of devastating closures & disruptions the future of many of our manufacturing sites hang in the balance. We urgently need an industrial & political strategy to safeguard our sites and defend jobs.

Simon Dubbins @simondubbins.bsky.social · 09/06/2026
We urgently need to support our members in the health sector to reverse decades of pay cuts & kick out dangerous profiteers like Palantir.

My industrial work has taken me across the UK, Ireland, and around the world. I have seen the power of unity, friendship and solidarity in action. This is what a new start for our union looks like. Watch & listen!

Simon Dubbins @simondubbins.bsky.social · 08/06/2026
These pledges will guide our industrial work across our union’s many sectors. That work starts by listening to and supporting reps & members.

Simon Dubbins @simondubbins.bsky.social · 07/06/2026
Our union must always show full solidarity with any union rep under attack. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. Solidarity with Richard at Southampton docks.

Simon Dubbins @simondubbins.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

Great to meet Trevor, Convenor at Canary Wharf, to see the real difference a strong union can make on site. The mental health crisis, and other urgent issues facing our construction members, will not be ignored.

I have written these open letters to our union’s Officers, Organisers and staff whose work with our reps & members is invaluable and must be respected again.

We need change. Not just from the last few years, but the last four decades. That starts by only supporting politicians who support us.

This is why Reform’s cynical attempts to win over workers will fail. Reform is attacking everything we fight to protect as trade unionists. x.com/politicsjoe_...

My pledge to you: If elected I will not be taking the General Secretary’s salary or any pay increase. I will open the books to end years of secrecy. A new start for our union begins with transparency and accountability.

Another ‘rare’ & utterly unwelcome intervention from Tony Blair. Attacking working protections won by unions won’t deliver any kind of economic growth that matters to people. Labour must ignore his siren calls & back workers with a 2nd employment rights bill focused on secure jobs & raising pay.

Standing with Amcor workers in Cramlington this morning, who are fighting for a pay rise that matches the rising cost of living. Our union will always back members in dispute! #Solidarity

We have proved we can endure because of the strength we have when we stand together. If we remember that lesson and our strength today we will win. Watch the full version here: youtu.be/dklI9Y6wgSE?...
