As expected, #GregJericho does not mince his words in his latest criticism of the #RBA. In fact, he shows the RBA for what it truly is, a proxy for the #BCA (Business Council of Australia), the all powerful #NeoLiberal #Lobby.
“the RBA really does not give one damn about inflation or even “inflationary expectations”. Truly – Michele Bullock has belled the cat on this now that she has admitted raising interest rates has nothing to do with inflation.
All the RBA cares about is wages growth – they do not, under any circumstances, want workers to think they should be getting a decent wage rise.
Company profits? Oh gosh, well, those need to remain strong. Bullock told reporters that companies should raise their prices to cover costs, because otherwise, in her words, “they would go bust”.

The worse our industry gets, the more crucial it is to help each other. Talk to your coworkers and get in touch with orgs like GWU Montreal NOW, it'll be too late when the bottom falls out.
It's time to take back control and bring democracy to our workplaces!

Linking better #pay to #productivity only fuels the fallacy that productivity increases come from workers working harder. This is a non-sequitur.Higher wages are required to maintain and improve livelyhood in society, yes. Business owners wishing to improve productivity must reinvest a portion of their profits to modernise production tooling and methods as well as expending funds into ‘research’ for such improvements.
Let’s not give the #grifting system ammunition to squeeze yet more ‘production’ out of workers using old and ineficient #tools and #processes.
Linking higher #wages to productivity is just as damaging as linking so-called wage #spirals to #inflation.#Economics101 - don’t fall for #neoliberal economic scams

Took the family to see the Banksy display at Docklands. Do you remember when you first saw this during the dark times. I wasn't on the front line but gosh it had an impact. 🥰💜 #banksy #essentialworkers #joinyourunion #empowerment

Don't forget the guilt of being a "loaded gvn" because apparently people will starve rather than shop at the competition.🙄🤨 #joinyourunion #shoparound Unions speak for workers. Be an employer of choice. Listen to unions. Or suck communities dry for shareholder profit like you have been 🤨🤬

Today, my Workcover claim for an injury caused by chronic overwork was accepted. I have been away from work for 6 weeks, and am still not well. My biggest fear is that my place of work will try to gaslight me into returning to doing the same work, or take away the things I love to do "to lighten my load". It's a fucken ride, my friends! #JoinYourUnion #UnionProud
