Sacked by PCS union - the truth

Publicising the truth about PCS union as an employer

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

I think that 35 hours work a week should not only pay the rent and put food on the table, but leave you enough over for the odd night out and an annual holiday. And if that belief makes me an economically illiterate leftwing extremist, so be it.

According the Telegraph, Starmer wants to 'take Britain back to the 1970s'. So that will mean secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and tap water that was safe to drink, then.

When I started paying National Insurance contributions in 1976, the deal was that I'd get a pension providing for a basic standard of living in a then-unimaginable 50 years' time. But now I've finally got there, it's just half the minimum wage.

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

Britain has the least generous state pension in the G7 and the highest rate of pensioner poverty in western Europe. And all I'm reading in the rightwing press is 'scrap the triple lock'.

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

Having a roof over your head and a pension pot big enough to provide a reasonable standard of living doesn't make you rich. It's the least you deserve before you kick the bucket.

You were never under qualified or incompetent.
You were being bullied.
You're not crazy.
There's nothing wrong with you.
It's absolutely not your fault.

If VAT on public school fees is 'class war', what's the right name for the 9% extra tax band on working-class kids who take a university degree?

Dennis Skinner:
'After the 2nd World War and without a penny to spend we built a National Health Service, we built council houses, we found jobs for 600,000 servicemen, we introduced pensions for the old, free education... and at the end of it unemployment was only 2.2%'

Is the tenner an hour minimum wage for young people an unaffordable burden on business? With me in the studio to discuss this are a £91,000 a year Tory MP, a £200,000 a year rightwing journalist and a chief executive on £4.2m.

Most people believe the national debt is a danger to our economy. In this video, I explain why that story is wrong. National debt isn’t a burden; it is our money supply. Every pound, dollar, euro or yen in circulation exists because governments run deficits that create the currency we all use. So if every country is in debt, who owns it?

The answer is revealing. More than 80% of global government debt is privately owned — and largely by pension funds, life assurance companies and, ultimately, the world’s wealthiest households. The 1% benefit enormously from the interest payments we all fund.

Prince Andrew retains the title of Duke of York but 'won't use it'. Heck, the royals are really ramping up the punishment on the pervy uncle there.

Wes Streeting says the @TheBMA strike undermines the trade union movement.

He should take a long look in the mirror.

Labour MPs refusing to stand on picket lines does far more damage to our movement than workers fighting for fair pay ever could.

When an employee is bullied, it is a highly focused effort to engage in a systematic campaign to interpersonally destroy the employee. It has no value as far as the work is concerned. It is based on the bully’s own agenda

Under Labour’s welfare cuts, 1.3 million people with cancer, arthritis and other diseases could lose PIP.

They could have just made the very wealthiest pay their fair share.

What an absolute disgrace that they are choosing to make life harder for disabled people instead.

[Republic @RepublicStaff]

Remember this when you're hearing news of cuts and job losses, or when the royals lecture others about equality or homelessness. #AbolishTheMonarchy #NotMyKing

[Shauny Boy @shiny02]

The silence from certain people (who always have lots & lots to say) about Labour's impending assault on the disabled is pretty fucking deafening

But tell me again how important your own brand of bullshit is....

[Workplace Mental Health Resources @Stopworkplacebu]

Workplace bullying can be deeply harmful, affecting all areas of a person's life. Treating colleagues with respect is crucial for creating positive and productive work environments https://t.co/KMjWkxXdqi

Instead of handing over vast sums of money to private companies, the government should instead be investing in the NHS and staunchly defending universal healthcare.
