• Stop Barclays From Funding Fracking
    Barclays has a 97% stake in Third Energy - the company who want to frack North Yorkshire. One of Barclays values is to "find ways to positively impact all of the communities we interact with". The people of North Yorkshire don't want fracking! Third Energy are planning to build 950 wells over 19 sites which will have a seriously negative effect on health, climate, the local economy etc.

  • Agency Workers Right to Full Time Employment
    Many agency workers, especially in the haulage industry, are being used by companies as full time staff, but kept on the books as Agency employees, rather than taken on directly. This deprives the Agency worker of the same terms, conditions, and employment rights enjoyed by the directly employed colleagues they work along side. Saving employers enormous sums, and responsibilities. I would wish the offer of direct employment, be made mandatory, after an Agency worker remains with a company for more than three months. Exceeding this period would prove that there is a vacancy, and an employer is just trying to reduce costs, and responsibilities at the Agency workers expense.

  • Childhood Cancer Awareness Postage Stamp
    A stamp supporting childhood cancer awareness would be really important. We need to educate the world that children get cancer as well. With education comes awareness, earlier diagnosis, research, funding, and a kinder cure. Childhood cancer is different to adult cancers, yet it is treated with scaled down adult versions, which often have long term side effects lasting a life time. Children can't speak for themselves, so we have to.

  • Ban any microbead products at Tesco
    This is pollution of a most destructive kind. Once it goes down the drain and ends up in the ocean it causes untold damage to organisms ranging from plankton to birds and sea mammals. Waitrose recently announced that they are going to stop stocking ANY products with microbeads in them. All other supermarkets should follow their great example and, not only stop using them in their own products, but stop stocking them all together.

  • No UK public service contracts for companies who don't pay UK tax
    I feel that this is important because public services should not be used to generate profit for individuals or shareholders beyond what is necessary to operate the service and provide investment into improving the service.

  • Tell Paypal to allow Palestinians to use their services.
    The inability to use Paypal's global electronic money transfer system, is hindering the progress of Palestinian owned businesses to exploit markets necessary to their healthy growth, in an location where this is vital. They should have the right to compete on a more even footing with Israeli settlers who suffer no such restrictions.

  • NO CUTS at Homerton hospital
    The company that runs the cleaning, catering, security services at Homeron Hospital announced in July that they plan to cut hours and posts for some staff. Initially we were told this could mean up to 89 redundancies but ISS have since stated that the number will be much less than this. Nevertheless, it is clear that ISS are looking to reduce hours and some positions. Our first concern is about patient safety. Where staff are already stretched trying to complete the work they need to do, we believe that the impact of staff working shorter hours or having fewer staff working in the hospital will be that the vital work that our cleaners, caterers and security staff do cannot be completed effectively. We are also concerned about the impact on staff. ISS staff have told us that they are worried about what cuts in pay will do to themselves and their families. This is a very low paid group of workers. They are also concerned about the impact on the health of staff left covering increased workloads. But above all, ISS staff have pointed out that their role is about saving lives. They get job satisfaction from working for patients and are very committed to the Homerton Hospital and are therefore extremely concerned about what this will do to the service they can provide. Protect our patients, protect our NHS, no reduction in hours or posts. The current threat to hours and posts and the lack of information provided to staff does little to support either promise. Patient care should be our priority and staff are willing to discuss how workloads are organised. But cuts in hours overall and loss of posts will not support better patient care.
