Really pleased to see that @learnworkuk.bsky.social research on widening access to apprenticeships highlighted here. It's important that people from all backgrounds have access to apprenticeships at all levels and have support to progress their careers.

⚠️ It calls for the axing of the Adequate Minimum Wages Directive 🀯

"This opinion, if confirmed, would be a huge blow to working people and their trade unions."

Trade Unions demand an end to Violence against Women and Girls in work and in society Speaking on 25th November, the international day to demand an end to violence against women and girls, Congress Assistant General Secretary Gerry Murphy said

"A 2019 survey showed clearly that majority of people subjected to sexual harassment or assault in the workplace do not go on to report the incident(75%)

"Perhaps even more worryingly, of those who did report only around 40% felt that it was dealt with appropriately"
