The #1972UKMinersStrike ended #ThisDayInHistory in 1972 with a substantially better pay package and paid holiday. The #WorkingClass, no matter the industry, deserve dignity, safety, and a generous #LivingWage. Any industry failing to provide these should be paralyzed by #strikes.

I check this periodically and still don't understand why the "typical annual salary" list isn't in order from least to greatest or viceversa

A UK #MinersStrike began on #ThisDayInHistory in 1972, and as power generation was still mostly coal at the time the government backed down on 19 Feb. and offer a 21% raise. All industries deserve a #LivingWage and workers need a pathway to future work when they become redundant.

The government had signaled earlier this year that it would send notices that would lead to a portion of a borrower’s paycheck being garnished. Being in collections & in default can damage #credit scores.

That move signaled the end of pandemic-era relief that began with pauses on payments in March 2020.

After several extensions by the #Biden admin, payments resumed in October 2023, but borrowers weren’t penalized for defaulting until last year. About 5 million borrowers are in default, & millions more are expected to be close to missing payments.

The email did not contain any details about the nature of the #garnishment, such as how much would be deducted from #wages.

The #Trump admin ended a 5-year reprieve on student loan repayments in May this year, with forced collections on federal #StudentLoans in default — which meant #tax #refunds & other federal payments could be withheld & applied toward #debt payments.

Literally impossible to be more the opposite of the Biden presidency that valued #education & those who worked hard to become educated —

#Trump Admin To Begin #GarnishingWages Of #StudentLoans’ Borrowers in Default Starting in January

You cannot repay your loans if you aren’t getting paid a #LivingWage FFS.
