Welcome to the world, Unions Renewed: Building Power in an Age of Finance.

After a long labour, weighing in at 12.4 ounces, @AlicePMartin are thrilled to finally meet you

[Annie Quick @anniequick]

A double read, what an honour! Hasn't it been a hopefully few weeks 😊💪

[Fran Boait @franboait]

I'm getting so much hope from the discussions of more collective action and workers standing up to this government, time to dust off the brilliant @AlicePMartin and @anniequick 's book and give it another read!

[Annie Quick @anniequick]

@w_stronge @AlicePMartin Thanks Will! :)

[Annie Quick @anniequick]

Thank you Ann, and for such helpful input into early drafts :)

Activists in India are in profound peril. Farmers. Labour organizers. Climate strikers. Modi's Hindu nationalism has merged with the fearsome power of Silicon Valley to spread hate, on the one hand, and invade privacy on the other.

@MiriamBrett I'm not sure, but to be honest either way I would have run with that as the main story

[Alice Martin @AlicePMartin]

I wrote this because I'm worried we're walking blindly into a future where there will be no corporate accountability for the UKs Covid disaster.

Companies are getting off the hook, whilst individuals face fines & shaming

This stop start furlough scheme has ruined so many lives unnecessarily.

General strike underway in Myanmar, largely catalyzed by unionized young women factory workers (largely garment workers). Friday, as much of the country awaited calls to protest from the NLD, the unions staged protests inside each factory to help unleash a movement. THREAD:

@guppikb @sikhexpo Thank you Guppi 🙏. Been trying to find out more about this and this thread was really useful

[Annie Quick @anniequick]

It's wild how little media attention this has gotten in recent weeks. A really useful thread from @guppikb 👇👇👇

@FranckMagennis @Archimbaldo @bencsmoke @AlicePMartin But yeah, I don’t think we’re seeing the start of a revolution here. That can only be rooted in a strong grassroots labour movement (meant in the broadest sense and including organising around rent & debt as well as work)

[Annie Quick @anniequick]

@FranckMagennis @Archimbaldo @bencsmoke @AlicePMartin Depends on the situation but the current scale and power of finance is undermining some traditional approaches to change and we’ve got to get creative and find leverage wherever we can.
