Successful Campaigns

UPDATE: 16/06/14 Congratulations! First announced cuts to bus fares in Bath for families, children and young people. These changes are definitely a step in the right direction. We could have hoped for more, but the campaign’s main job is done. My next move is to send the petition to Paul Matthews as a reminder of our views. In the meantime it’s important that we all keep an eye on fares, especially in January when rises are usually implemented. I see the final job for the campaign is ensuring that bus prices never rise out of control again.

07/05/19 - BREAKING! WE WON! Guinness world records have made an official announcement and have updated their rules and awarded the record: @guinnessworldrecords "Our guidelines for running a marathon in a nurse’s uniform were out of date and reflected a stereotype we do not wish to perpetuate. For that we apologise. We have now awarded Jessica Anderson the record for fastest marathon wearing a nurse’s uniform." https://twitter.com/GWR/status/1125756441762107393

Victory! NDAs to Silence Victims of Misconduct to Be Banned! Thanks to pressure from campaigners, survivors, and over 93,500 of you who signed this petition, the UK government has just announced a ban on the use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to silence workers who experience harassment and discrimination. This is a huge step forward for workers’ rights. For too long, NDAs have been misused by bad bosses to cover up serious misconduct, from harassment to assault, forcing people into silence and letting perpetrators off the hook. Now, that’s about to change. The new rules part of the Employment Rights Bill will: - Ban gagging clauses in NDAs that stop victims and witnesses from speaking out - Protect whistleblowers who want to call out bad behaviour - Ensure justice for workers across all industries, including those in insecure or low-paid jobs This moment belongs to everyone who broke their silence and to you, for standing with them. But it’s not over yet. We’ll keep pushing to make sure this becomes law and is enforced properly so no one is ever forced into silence again. Thank you for being part of this win.
