A Labour government needs to support Public Libraries by;
Increasing funding/staffing.
Bringing all outsourced & volunteer-led services/libraries back in-house.
Strengthening 64 Act.
Re-introducing standards.
Creating a new advisory body.

Dear Cllrs

There’s no such thing as a ‘non-statutory library’ and/or a ‘Community Managed Library’, the 1964 Act makes no provision for such things.

Bookswaps/internet cafes/community centres but NOT Public Libraries.

Yours

A weary Library Worker

When you introduce staffless opening and discover you can’t leave it unstaffed due to safety/access concerns and massive drops in users and you’ve laid off the staff.

1970s Britain owned its water, transport, mail, energy, millions of council houses and sat on a huge North Sea reserve. The national debt was £80bn.

2022 Britain has no assets and a national debt of £2.5 trillion.

Neoliberalism started by Thatcher has destroyed the UK.

Good question!

[Enough is Enough @eiecampaign]

Did you clap our NHS workers during the pandemic?

In the coming weeks, nurses, junior doctors, ambulance service and other health workers will ballot to strike.

They’re fighting for better – because claps don’t pay the bills.

RT if you’re behind them 👊

This week Jacob Rees-Mogg refused to rule out scrapping the 48 hour week which prevents workers from being discriminated against or sacked if they refuse to work over forty eight hours a week

If you are not in a union join one, NOW

Billionaires do not work harder than carers, nurses, teachers, doctors, construction workers, factory workers, shop assistants or other workers.

Tax the billionaires.

Local government in Scotland has suffered more than a decade of cuts and is now under severe financial strain as a result of the pandemic, with increased demand for services and a substantial loss of income. #PlugTheGap
