This should be a good one:
National Shop Stewards Network (NSSN) Conference 2026 this June in London.

One of the highlights will be hearing directly from the striking Birmingham bin workers, who have been at the centre of a dispute that has now been running for over a year. Their determination, resilience and fight for fair treatment offer important lessons for trade unionists and campaigners across the movement.

The conference will also bring together Unite members involved in a range of ongoing disputes, alongside workers from other unions, providing a valuable opportunity to share experiences, build solidarity and discuss how we strengthen our collective campaigns.

With a programme of keynote speakers, discussions on defending jobs, pay and public services, and forums on the challenges facing workers today, it promises to be an important event for everyone committed to standing up for working people.

No one should have to choose between caring responsibilities and maintaining a career or financial stability.
Many Unite reps are carers themselves, often trying to balance demanding responsibilities both at home and in the workplace.
As part of the Carers Week, Unite is organising a dedicated session for Unite reps on 10 June, focused on improving support for workers with caring responsibilities.

Is your workplace ready for the heatwave? 🌡️Understanding what protections workers have 👇

After years of record temperatures, today’s bank holiday heatwave probably won’t be the last.

With bus driver cabs reaching temperatures in excess of 40°C, outdoor workers overexposed to UV rays, and some staff working in buildings with limited cooling, many workers already know excessive heat isn’t just uncomfortable — it can be dangerous if not handled correctly.

While employers do have a legal and moral duty to protect workers’ under The Health and Safety at Work Act there is currently NO legal maximum working temperature in the UK, leaving grey areas where workers are not fully protected against extreme conditions.

Many people still work in environments with poor ventilation, no temperature control, or no workplace adjustments — despite changing weather patterns across the country.

Our union is demanding clearer policies, including a legal maximum safe working temperature, so employers must put appropriate measures in place — with no ambiguity — and everyone can work in a safe environment.

'Too hot' and we'll DM a template letter you can use to call your employer to take action:https://www.unitetheunion.org/media/ubmpnsrk/25-extreme-heat-letter.pdf
