May Day is the perfect day to join a union
https://www.tuc.org.uk/join-a-union
@IndyRichard Because they're largely 'cut from the same cloth'. Noticably so in the past decade. The lust for power? #Starmer always a #LINO . Dumb we are not, silenced we very much are. #AntiFa #Unionise #Solidarity.
Delighted! The material for the union I'm part of has arrived to try and recruit some members through the year.
I've got a wee talk this week but I'm not entirely sure what to say, 'cos I'm on the spot :sloth_sweat_smile:
Quite like the new pens, mine are yellow and green instead of yellow and pink.
TU Delft will join the relay strike on 24 April!

We are protesting the announced budget cuts of 1.2 billion euros on higher education in the Netherlands. This means that we have to cut about 10-20% of our budget.
Please join us in letting Eppo Bruins know that these budget cuts are unacceptable!

It boils down to #development planning, liveable cities #TownPlanning and integrated infrastructure. Let’s face it, Australian cities and towns are an abomination of financial speculation and absolute disregard for the environment. This has led to a hotchpotch development of isolated infrastructure, workplaces, services and habitat. Righting all those wrongs is well nigh impossible, very expensive, and (vip for the top end of town) unprofitable - ain’t goin’ to happen.
Not so for #greenfield and new satellite cities where toughtful planning with a focus on the #environment can deliver cleaner, more efficient/productive and healthy living for its inhabitants. Not a dream but ‘possibilities’ and ‘opportunities’, but only if there is political will to ‘make it so’.
In the meantime, healthy living is pushed out to the backstage and govt tinker around the edges to keep us under control. Again, there is a lack of popular movement strong enough to sway govts away from tipping the hat to #corporatism and #grifters.
There really is only one way out of this mess (barring bloody revolutions) and that is to #unionise get out in the streets and demand action (or else) and fully exercise our rights to #vote accordingly.
There are only two things bullies (govt and grifter alike) respond to and that is resolute #opposition and a bigger bully than themselves. Unions can become the bigger bully (again), and resolute #resistance needs to come from all of us (that is to say the majority). I don’t mind supporting a big bully, if I can control that bully (guardrailed) and they do their utmost to act for the benefit of all people in society. While a society based on a controlled bully (I’m reminded of early imperial Rome somewhat) is not ideal and perhaps inherently flawed, if I have to live under the rule of a bully anyway, I’d much prefer one of my own choosing with a bick stick stached away in my cupboard.
It was obvious Jeff needed some help with this. He def. needs to turn his life around. For him self and for others. #JeffBezos #Amazon #Booksky #Books #Bookrecomendations #SavetheworldfromJeff #AntCapitalism #Capitalism #WorkersRights #Unionise #Theft #Limitsrianism #Facism #Life
When in doubt, #unionise.
Kids these days are already ready to #unionise
"Millions of #voters voted for Trump at the top of the ticket and #Democrats down-ballot to check his unpopular agenda. It would be a mistake to think Trump has a mandate to remake society in a #hardright, socially conservative image.

Boeing boss tells workers strike would ‘put recovery in jeopardy’Typical #capitalist view. We'll pay you what we like, but you can't stop working, in spite of we paying you peanuts. That put recovery in jeopardy is a paraphrase for your strike will impact our #profits.
How many times a week is an ambulance called to your place of work?
Having this week read the shocking workplace death statistics before the HSE was launched in the UK 50 years ago (323,000 in 1969)…this story about #Amazon makes it feel like we’re going backwards.
I realise that "I won't let myself be exploited" in particular is a high goal. I will strive for it though. I will not make peace with exploitation, even if it is "just me" and/or seems inevitable. I will not normalise it in my mind nor life.
I wish everyone would make similar pledges to this, adapted to their circumstances.
For example, if you do work for a boss, what anti-capitalist practices would you want to make a habit? Unionise? Small acts of sabotage? Stealing small things from work? "Forgetting" to charge a customer who is clearly struggling? Refusing to serve fascists? Testing out how much incincerity and bootlicking is really required and not doing more than absolutely necessary? Testing out how much you can speak your mind and stand up for yourself and others and doing as much of that as possible?

Inside #Apple's Ruthless Business Strategy
Good to see that one trade union won't quietly be complicit in Labour's embrace of Tory values.
Labour has taken the trade unions for granted for far too long. Time for them to oppose Starmer as they do the Tories.
