The last year saw the IWW and their allies launch a nation-wide campaign to prevent NBS management from enacting dangerous cuts that will only serve to ease their own workload. IWW members in the NBS’s recognised unions (Unison and Unite) have also been at the forefront of the campaign to push the big unions to act against the plans, rather than seemingly roll over and let management do whatever they want.
In its first nine months operating in York the IWW has won over £70,000 in back pay and compensation for local workers.
Cleaners, hotel staff, shop assistants and security guards are just some of the people finding out that a little union can pack a big punch.
Where employers have taken money off staff we have made them pay it back. Where they have sacked unfairly we have forced them to reinstate or pay for their actions.
Together we make a difference.
