🚨 Amazon drivers in Atlanta are making history today as the first workers in the South to organize with the Teamsters at the trillion-dollar company. 🚨
Amazon Teamsters are building on the legacy of Atlanta’s Civil Rights Movement and are paving the way to end poverty wages at Amazon nationwide.
Anything is possible when you’re a Teamster, including being powerful enough to take on one of the world’s largest corporations like Amazon and win everything you deserve.

First of the nationwide protests kicking off in Cork & Dublin today.
Why are @HSELive employees protesting? Because 1000s of jobs have been de facto scrapped, with no plan to manage this.
Staff cuts = Services Cut. It's that simple. Don't fall for the spin #ServicesAreSuffering
If this army is moral, I'm pondering what constitutes immorality ?

If the government is worried about alienating FDI by accepting the €13bn, it should consider the deficits in public services and infrastructure, use the money to address these impediments to investment, and resolve pressures, like housing, on ordinary citizens at the same time.
The widespread devastation and massacres of the Israeli army in #Jenin and other parts of occupied northern West Bank, where Hamas is not ruling, are a powerful reminder that Hamas is just the last excuse for the State of #Israel to wreak the Palestinian territory havoc. Everywhere for 57 years Israel has made life impossible for Palestinians under a brutal military occupation, seeking to realize a “#GreaterIsrael”.
In agreement with the Palestinians in the oPt, an int'l #ProtectionPresence must be immediately deployed to stop the massacres, wanton destruction and forced displacement.
