Humbled to be presented today with a lovely acknowledgement from @IanByrneMP team for helping on the trade union learning aspect of #RealTruthLegacyProject - which educates school children & trade unionists alike about the ‘real truth’ & aftermath of Hillsborough #JFT97
I watched Simon Thompson (the head of Royal Mail) in front of the Business select committee this morning, & whatever the subject (RMs policies, sick pay, his bonus, external advisors etc) he came across as shifty and evasive. The Chair even warned him about misleading parliament!
Andy McDonald:“Despite the job losses that Royal Mail’s announced, it’s introduced owner drivers into the business. They’re on 20% less pay & insecure contracts..so postal workers are going to lose their jobs while casualised workers replace them. That’s fire & replace isn’t it?”
Thousands of nurses strike tomorrow for the first time in a generation
Soak that in. That’s the people who keep us safe. That’s the people who bring us into the world. That’s the people we clapped
RT if you stand with them and not that shower of corrupt bastards In Westminster
This week the establishment are going to come at striking postal workers, rail workers and nurses like never before.
Their class sticks together and so must ours.
Because we outnumber them, outclass them and outthink them.
Solidarity forever.

•Starting salary for a new post worker striking today to try desperately to meet the costs of living- £22,425.
•Starting salary for a Tory cabinet minister working on legislation to restrict the right to strike- £151,649.
Thank you @DaveWardGS for defending us when @JeremyKyleLive refers to us as ‘bloody Nurses’.
These broadcasters have no shame. Solidarity with all @CWUnews ✊
Tomorrow 115,000 postal workers take their 13th day of strike action to defend their jobs and the service they provide to you.
They are up against an aggressive and out of control employer.
Now more than ever they need you.
RT if you stand by your postie.
