It’s #PloughMonday, the day that traditionally saw the resumption of work after Christmas. In some regions it was common for a plough to be hauled from house to house accompanied by a man in the role of the ‘fool’ and someone dressed as an old woman called the ‘Bessy’.

Funny how you can watch the interview with Harry and think there’s a decent guy telling the truth. Then you see the pile on to him from likes of Julia Hartley-Brewer, Sophie Corcoran, Dan Wootton, Piers Morgan, Laurence Fox etc and you know you are right

#OnThisDay 1862, cotton workers in Manchester met and offered their support to the USA despite suffering hardship due to the ongoing Civil War. President Lincoln described this as “an instance of sublime Christian heroism which has not been surpassed in any age or any country.”

Thank you @Peter_Fitz - asking the tough questions. Under Joyce @Qantas has systemically dismantled good, secure aviation jobs that used to be jobs for life. Insecure & low paid are now apt descriptors of the work. As usual Joyce deflects blame. We deserve a better @Qantas

Robert Kett, leader of the Norfolk rising (later known as Kett’s Rebellion), was hanged in chains from the walls of Norwich Castle #OnThisDay 1549. Kett’s Rebellion was one of several agrarian revolts that swept over England in the 16th and 17th centuries.

#OnThisDay 1769: 2 men were executed outside the Salmon and Ball pub, London for their involvement in the Spitalfield riots. Weavers were attempting to ensure that the rates of pay paid for their piece work was not cut beneath the level at which they could feed their families.

The Chubb dispute is now in its 3rd week. CEPU members are refusing to allow the mainland management of Chubb to bully them into accepting an offer that would see Chubb undercut its local competitors and create a race to the bottom for workers in the sprinkler industry.

It’s good to be back in #Melbourne for the #ituc22 congress. I’ve brought some friends with me - 1000 delegates from the global union moment.

Good morning Senator @JacquiLambie
from the working class of Ballarat. This pic is of nurses, firefighters, food workers, fitters, sparkles, builders, and aged care workers several of whom are former defence personnel. We need the secure work bill passed. We are the union.

It’s just straight out satire

Should the #qantas board sack Alan Joyce?. #4corners #qantas

[RadicalHistoryCollective @history_radical]

Democracies were formed out of protest - today the Tasmanian parliament criminalised protest. These are dark times #politas #ausunions #auspol
