Rotten to the core - @UKLabour's 'latest corporate mega-donor is a pro-#Israel businessperson whose firm profiteered from South African apartheid.' https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-winstanley/labours-new-bankroller-israel-lobbyist-south-african-apartheid-profiteer
I cannot be there but Camden & Islington Momentum at at the TUC Emergency Protest - Protect the Right to Strike #righttostrike #tuc #Camden&IslingtonMomentum

The funniest/saddest thing about tech bosses fighting unions so hard is that many of the very same things they complain non-stop about their employees would vanish with a healthy and strong union.
Worries about employees hopping from company to company? Offer them a pension and unions have perks and promotions based on seniority, people won't be leaving.
Struggling with DEI initiatives? Giving the Union rep a seat at the table means that you'll be rid of toxic managers and keep your most valuable diverse employees.
Struggling with recruiting talent? A clear union contract showing what the company will give in exchange for what expectations, you'll have a whole class of people who want stability over chasing the highest paycheck beating a path to your doorstep.
Activist shareholders bullying you about needing to do layoffs even when you know it's not going to actually benefit the company? Tell the investors "Sorry, but we can't do layoffs without risking Labor action." The Activist investors will go away and you'll get more investors who want to hold for the long haul.
Worried about hostile takeovers? Not with a union. Vulture capital will leave your business far alone - Unions are their kryptonite.
How media enables white supremacy.
First pic: How NY Times depicted an unarmed Black teen killed by law enforcement—“problematic & no Angel.”
Second Pic: How NY Times depicts a white woman who unapologetically stole $700M & harmed countless people—“a loving mother & a new beginning.”
Happy May Day #mayday #workersday
I will be at the rally in London with the #CamdenMomentum (Camden& Islington Momentum) banner and #StreetsKitchen top.
@KatM thanks. Can read it now. This is going backwards instead of forwards. What was the outcome? Did it pass?
Walk on the Heath. Lovely to finally have some warmth. Celebrating the long weekend.
Happy MayDay weekend #mayday #workersday
Even longer weekend with the Teachers Strike #neu #payup #saveourschools
The Montana House voted to censure the state’s first openly transgender legislator Zooey Zephyr for saying conservatives would have “blood on their hands” if they voted to ban gender-affirming care for transgender youth.
ABC News reports on the vote, and ties it to similar moves to silence lawmakers in other states: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/transgender-lawmaker-faces-expulsion-montana-house-republicans/story?id=98871630

The NHS might be struggling right now, but thank goodness no one in the UK will be asked to pay $807.96 for insulin.
We must never stop fighting to keep it that way.
This is Sunday. So, yet again, I'm appealing for all socialists who see this to consider following me and if I'm not already following you I will #followback. All socialists need to follow each other even when we identify differences on certain tactics and strategy, language and more besides. Where wee disagree, don't unnecessarily divide. That's playing into the hands of our mutual enemies. #SocialistSunday
Today in 1872, the Toronto Printers Strike begins. The strikers are calling for a nine hour work day & the strike grows to 10,000 people. Their work eventually leads to a 9-hour work day.
The federal government also legalizes labour unions, but makes picketing illegal.
I was holding the Camden Momentum banner (Camden & Islington Momentum) and wearing the Streets Kitchen hi-vis and NEU bag
