Thanks to Cllr Maureen Cummings who visited our picket line at National Coal Mining Museum in #Wakefield for the third time today. Here she is with mine guide Chris chatting not about the dispute but about...#Featherstone Rovers 😂 @FevRoversRLFC @WFDLabourGroup @unisonyh
Day 19 of strike at National Coal Mining Museum in #Wakefield. Spirits are high & determination is highe. Early morning picket assembled (L-R) Ian. Eric, Russ & Steely #WhateverHappenedToTheLikelyLads @strike_map @unisonyh
Thanks to Cllr Sam Harvey @samharveyrural who today sent 15 portions of fish, chips & mushy peas to picket line at National Coal Mining Museum in #Wakefield. They were from Grumpy Fryer in #Middleton & they were delicious. Thank you Sam, your support is appreciated 🐳🥔🫛
#Halloween arrives early at National Coal Mining Museum in #Wakefield @unisonyh 🕸🎃🪦
Thanks to Cllr Denise Jeffery, the Leader of #Wakefield Council who visited our picket line at Coal Mining Museum today. L-R is Dave (Branch Chair), Denise, Alan & his wife, Alison who told us how she supported Alan in 1984 & is supporting him now 🥰 @WFDLabourGroup @unisonyh
We had delivery of new placards at picket line this morning! The museum is dead, not 1 visitor drove in yesterday & today the 1 woman who drove in, drove back out of top gate & beeped on way past 🚗. This failure of leadership is devastating for the museum & the public.
A big thank you to @simonlightwood for meeting with workers on strike. Another politician actively listening to @unisontheunion about @NCMME's refusal to return to negotiations ✊

📺 WATCH 📺 We were joined on the picket line today by Cllr Denise Jeffery, the Leader of #Wakefield Council. She addressed the picket & we were lucky to capture it 👇 @WFDLabourGroup @unisontheunion @unisonyh thank you Denise 👏👏👏
Thanks to @simonlightwood who met 3 of his constituents today. All are on strike from the National Coal Mining Museum. From left - Alan, Simon, Russ, Marie. They were supported by Adam from our Branch. Great meeting, thank you for your time & your support 💚🌹💜 @unisonyh
Yet again, dismal leadership and sh!t pay in the voluntary sector. Great to see workers at @NCMME fighting back. As we've seen at @UniteAtShelter, St Mungos, Hull CAB and more, the last few years have seen a surge in charity workers striking and winning. More of it!
