"Just do the right thing. Do it for you, your friends and your loved ones."
A Dublin teenager has told of his harrowing battle with Covid-19 and is urging young people to take the disease seriously.
#Covid19
I wrote this 11 days ago when there was 4,129 in ICU in Europe and predicted there would be 5,900 in ICU by the 27th.
There is 5,473 in ICU in Europe tonight and it'll hit 5,900 by 27th, so unfortunately it's bang on schedule.
Europe is under pressure, and so are we in Ireland.
I'm always in awe of Orio Palmer, Chief of Battalion 7 on 9/11.
Single handedly fixed an elevator+radio receivers, and climbed 37 floors in 32 minutes with 50lbs of gear on his back to reach the 78th floor impact zone and provided hope to those laying injured.
Incredible man.
1. No pay rise, ever.
2. No guaranteed hours.
3. Unlimited and open-ended lay-off clause, on a whim and without notice.
4. Gagging order.
5. A rostering guide which doesn’t exist.
6. Reduced annual leave entitlement.
7. Slashed contractual pay.
8. Absolute flexibility required.
After forcing people out, #BritishAirways is forcing slavery contracts onto remaining cabin crew. Zero hour, base changeable, partnership company swap, 30% pay cut minimum etc... Thank you for literally destroying our lives #SaturdayThoughts@HuwMerriman@ITVJoel#BAbetrayal
Whilst slashing of terms and conditions at @British_Airways are blamed on IAG being strapped for cash, the company is preparing to give its CEO Willie Walsh an £883,000 bonus!
Unacceptable. Workers pay the price whilst the CEO rakes it in.

Willy Walsh was today given an £883,000 bonus on the same day 1000’s were made redundant. I guess if you’re going to be a heartless ____* you might as well go all in.
Another thank you goes out to @gildernewm of Sinn Fein who has signed our pledge on slots amendment. @British_Airways only listen the bottom line, their bottom line is slots, as they contribute to 42% of their profit. Bad behaviour must have consequences. It's in BA's hands.
Very telling to see @British_Airways show more emotion at the retirement of their 747 fleet than their loyal workforce! A whole segment on BBC, Sky news and media coverage over lumps of metal but not even a goodbye to their staff 😡

Today I spoke at the @unitetheunion demonstration in support of BA workers facing job losses.
It’s pretty simple to me, if you have €1bn To buy Air Europa, you probably have enough money to save every single job in a crisis @British_Airways 🤷🏽♂️
It's absolutely clear.
@British_Airways should have their preferential slots at British airports taken away from them. Their actions are not befitting of a national flag carrier.
Our Government must step in.

Liar Liar pants on🔥 🔥
Willie can't resist telling whoppers! He says he is proposing no more than 20% off basic for anyone. As you well know Willie - for some basic only makes up 50% of pay. Where is the other 50%? There must be consequences to BA’s actions. #Handbacktheslots
