1yr today, @unisontheunion members walked out of National Coal Mining Museum in #Wakefield in dispute over pay. They stayed out (& picketed) for 250 consecutive days. It was 8 long months but the members won a 10.5% rise. It takes a whole community to win a strike, thank you 💜💚

There has to be some accountability for the conduct of those Council Officers involved in the decisions & actions throughout this dispute. Comments from CEO of @BhamCityCouncil are neither convincing nor compelling. Solidarity with the @unitetheunion members @UniteEconomy

"This document is an absolute abhorrence and a disgrace" @UniteSharon
"I said at the time ( @BhamCityCouncil ended talks last year) this was either incompetence or sabotage. Now we know it was sabotage."
