Yesterday saw actions across England demanding that Matt Hancock #ScrapSerco!

With Serco’s contract ending on May 17, now is the time to apply pressure for it not to be renewed. We need a contact tracing and isolation support system that is run locally!

Now hearing from @HackneyAbbott!

We should remember the terrible death toll in this country. We have almost become numb to the figures, but they represent lives snuffed out and the government's failure to take the right measures

Students were made to come back to university just so they could be charged rent and tuition fees! The UCU warned about this but students were put in danger because of the effects of marketisation.
Black and ethnic minority people have faced higher death rates, including health workers. The government will not address the institutional racism underlying that.

Now hearing from @jnewsham of @hazardscampaign!

Trade union safety reps have done amazingly in the pandemic. Workers have been put at risk throughout, and workers' health is public health.

The pandemic didn't cause the health and safety crisis, it exposed it.
The drive to cut regulation and keep non-essential workplaces open. Whose bright idea was it to open pubs, restaurants and gyms? Those in precarious and low-paid work need better protections against infection. Many have no sick pay.
The government has ignored workplace transmission. Schools were forced to widen reopening. They have not followed a #ZeroCovid strategy; they have no overall strategy at all. Matt Hancock still doesn't understand why people are having to go to work even when they are sick.
