Time to implement a 23kg max weight limit for individual bags

Unite is campaigning to get airlines to introduce a reduced global standard of 23 kg maximum weight limit for individual bags taken on planes. The campaign's main aim is to reduce back and other injuries suffered by thousands of baggage handlers as well as help travellers save money. Find out more on Unite's Lighten up! campaign.


Tax fuel giants to end fuel poverty

What will high fuel prices mean this winter?Unite calls
for energy 
'Windfall Tax'

Unite joint general secretary Tony Woodley is calling for a windfall tax on energy utilities: "Energy companies in this country have seen their profits leap by an incredible 538 per cent in the last five years, that's money they've used to line shareholders' and executives' pockets. Yet all consumers have had is price pain. In homes across the country people will be facing an inhumane choice this winter: whether to heat or eat." 
That is why Unite has launched a campaign for a Windfall Tax.
