Union rep. New parent. Migrant worker. Ryan is one of two union reps abruptly sacked by @itfglobalunion.bsky.social management. ❌ Fired my management decree, contrary to internal procedures ❌ Denied the right to work his notice period, accelerating removal from the country

What in the world are the priorities of @itfglobalunion.bsky.social management? On Wednesday, one of the abruptly terminated reps requested and received permission to attend the office. Upon arrival he was informed he would need to be chaperoned and "collected" from area to area.

One of the sacked reps from @uniteitf.bsky.social spoke at our victimisation strike rally yesterday. What’s happening to them is another stark example of the union movement’s ‘leadership’ losing its way. Please join us in sending full solidarity & give them a follow. #UniteAgainstVictimisation

After abruptly sacking two union reps, @itfglobalunion.bsky.social management are now trying to tear up the existing CBA with staff. Under the "new CBA" written by management, important protections would be removed or put in non-binding policies.

.@itfglobalunion.bsky.social management want to tear up the existing Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) with staff and replace it with a new one they've written by an imposed deadline of 31 March.

Four months ago, Novara Media reported on serious allegations of misconduct and a pervasive culture of misogyny at the @itfglobalunion.bsky.social. How much progress has been made? Not nearly enough.

ITF Staff Union @uniteitf.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

The recent "State of the Sector" report by the @unionworkersunion.org is important reading. @itfglobalunion.bsky.social staff, like all union staff, want their organisations to live up to their full potential. Voting to take industrial action is a last resort when internal mechanisms fail.

Staff at the @itfglobalunion.bsky.social have started submitting their postal ballots for a renewed industrial action mandate.

110

ITF Staff Union @uniteitf.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

Staff at the @itfglobalunion.bsky.social are now balloting again for industrial action. There are three reasons: 1) Representation 2) Accountability 3) Fairness These aren't separate issues. Our union reps have been fighting for accountability and to ensure staff are treated fairly.

ITF Staff Union @uniteitf.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

ITF staff are calling for management to immediately reinstate two union reps who were suddenly terminated without justification. Both reps were told that their grievances would be heard before any further steps would be taken, in line with internal policy and past practice.

The @itfglobalunion.bsky.social management broke its own rules to abruptly sack union reps.

100

ITF Staff Union @uniteitf.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

Management of @itfglobalunion.bsky.social wrote that the abrupt dismissal of two union reps was for their own "benefit and wellbeing". This decision presided over by the most senior leadership of the organisation will hasten the mandatory repatriation of a migrant family.

ITF Staff Union @uniteitf.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

Tradewinds reports on the abrupt sacking of union reps by @itfglobalunion.bsky.social management: “This dispute will continue to escalate until ITF’s leadership stops union-busting and takes concrete action to rectify the pressing and legitimate issues facing its workers.”

ITF Staff Union @uniteitf.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

Are @itfglobalunion.bsky.social management jetting to Mexico to avoid scrutiny? The next ITF Executive Board meeting in April 2026 was shifted from London to Mexico City. This was announced right after staff in London announced a new strike ballot over the unjustified sacking of two union reps.

100

ITF Staff Union @uniteitf.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

Adding insult to injury, @itfglobalunion.bsky.social management abruptly dismissed two union reps contrary to internal procedures, then told them not to come back unless invited or given permission.

110

ITF Staff Union @uniteitf.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

Why are @itfglobalunion.bsky.social management wasting workers' money to sack union reps? Why reject a proposal that would have avoided the need for any redundancies and saved the organisation money?

Why are @itfglobalunion.bsky.social staff on strike? We are fighting for fairness and equality. We want to protect the critical work of our organisation. And in doing so, we are pushing back against unacceptable behaviour by ITF management, who have walked away from the bargaining table.
