How dare those greedy train drivers go on strike, don’t they know there’s teachers struggling?
How dare those greedy teachers go on strike, don’t they know there’s nurses struggling?
How dare those greedy nurses go on strike, don’t they know-
Obviously atrocious that teachers have been put in a position to have to strike. But none the less joyful to pass so many picket lines this morning with signs clearly made with poster paint 💪 🎨
An aggressive (affectionate) reminder to my publishing colleagues: take your hour lunch break. Pencils down at 5. Do not read after hours. Do not edit after hours. Do not check email after hours. Reply with your excuses and I will hug you and tell you gently why you are wrong.
If the Retained EU Law Bill passes, on Jan 1st, 2024 we could lose:
🔹Holiday pay
🔹Agency worker rights
🔹Rights to maternity and parental leave
🔹Protection of part-time and fixed-term workers
🔹Protection from discrimination
and many more.
I think about that Danny Dyer “if you’re working 40 hours and you can’t cover your bills thats the fault of the slags paying you” quote all! The! Time!

Nurses are under attack. The government have decided they will take them on and break them if needed
They are the same people who kept this nation going through the pandemic
They are the backbone of society
RT if you stand right behind them and will back them whatever it takes
OK, so we know many small businesses are backing the postal workers strike but also struggling financially.

That’s 4 weeks without pay! We’re still very much in need of donations to our solidarity fund, which supports our members so we can hold the line as long as it takes to get a FAIR CONTRACT:
The thing that burns me up about the @hcpunion strike is that HC management is acting as if publishing is a standard business, when it’s a weird chimera, largely predicated on respect and goodwill—which @HarperCollins is irreparably damaging every day they refuse to bargain.
