Organise impact report: July 2025 - what we've achieved together this month
July 28, 2025
In just the last few weeks, Organise members have come together to raise issues, find solutions, and win change — and it’s working.
Together, we’re backing worker-led campaigns that are now impacting over 372,000 workers across the UK, including at major employers like John Lewis, Waitrose, Co-op, M&S and Uber.
Here’s a snapshot of what we’ve achieved together 👇
John Lewis has promised to bring back the staff bonus for 74,000 workers — thanks to over 20,000 Partners and customers who stood together to hold the company accountable.
It all started with a question from a worker on Organise:
“Are you worried the Partnership model is being eroded?”
96% said yes.
What followed was powerful — hundreds of workers shared anonymous stories about financial pressure and losing pride in the company. Customers joined in, signing petitions, pledging to shop elsewhere, and contacting bosses directly.
And it worked. The Financial Times covered the win in two articles — showing how our worker-led campaign forced change.
📖 Read them here and here.
Now we’ll keep up the pressure to make sure that bonus gets paid.
Thousands of Organise members backed Zelda Perkins’ campaign to end NDAs that stop workers speaking out about harassment and abuse.
Together, we helped expose the scale of the problem — and now the law has changed.

After pressure from 3,000 Uber drivers, 9,000 customers, and dozens of MPs, Uber launched a new “review centre” to investigate unfair auto-firings.
But drivers testing the system say it’s broken — many only got their jobs back after getting their MP involved. That’s not a fair system.
We’ll keep up the pressure until Uber fixes this properly.
Ahead of the M&S AGM, 23,000 workers and customers backed the call for fair pay — including for cleaners and security guards.
We teamed up with ShareAction and delivered your voices directly to the board. A third of shareholders voted with us — and now M&S is legally required to report on their plan to tackle low pay.
That’s huge.
Hundreds of Co-op staff used Organise to speak out about the dangers of working alone — juggling customers, deliveries and restocking with no support.
They called for minimum staffing levels and an end to lone working.
Co-op announced a new cost-cutting plan called “Project Lunar” that threatened to expand lone working — and The Guardian helped Co-op workers speak out.

Co-op bosses now say lone working is only one of many options being considered — a big change from earlier plans.
When 77% of UK workers said they want companies to report pay gaps — including on disability and race — thousands of you took that demand straight to Government.
Now, we’re making sure those demands get turned into law as part of the Equality Bill.

13,000 of us told the Low Pay Commission what it’s like surviving on the minimum wage — and 77% of us backed a raise to £15 an hour.
Last year, Organise members helped influence a national pay rise. Let’s do it again.
Watch this space.
After 15,000 of us spoke out, the Government finally admitted the water bill system is broken — and announced major changes.
The official report quoted the Organise community directly:
“80% of respondents reported feeling angry… sentiment expressed was strongly negative toward the current management of the water industry.”
That’s real people power.
Working with disability groups, 95,000 Organise members successfully forced the Government to scale back plans to cut Personal Independence Payments (PIP).
The changes will now only apply to new claimants — and not until after a full review.
We’re not done — but this is a huge win for dignity and justice.
From fair wages to better safety, from broken bills to broken contracts — we’re building real worker power, together.
