Coverage from the courier strike on Wednesday. Organised by a group of Brazilian riders in London, it soon spread like wildfire to become the biggest strike the UK has seen. The IWGB was built on this kind of grassroots action - we know from experience it's what gets results

📢🚨 Members are marching in Tooting today in solidarity with victims of immigration raids. Last week we saw police racially profile Deliveroo couriers, harassing them while they work. We must #KillTheBill , so police aren't given more powers to intimidate workers.

UCL have a £110 million surplus every year. Why can’t they spend that money on improving pay for their staff? It’s time to break into the piggy bank and give security guards a pay rise.
