  4. The Blueberries of Wrath on the mid-north coast of NSW
    Bitter fruit: the dark underside of the booming NSW blueberry industry

    "Blueberry farms have become an increasingly common sight across the rolling hills of the NSW mid-north coast...The number of people in need of ... support points to a dark underbelly of exploitation in the blueberry industry that authorities appear incapable of dealing with...It’s semi-organised crime, that is how I would describe it. "

    "A NSW parliamentary inquiry into modern slavery is currently investigating worker conditions."

  5. Slaying the #healthcare zombie
    🧐"Many #doctors #work up to 100 hours per week, more than double the 45-hour limit stipulated under the #labourlaw, largely due to high #patient #volumes under #Thailand's 30-baht #universalhealthcare #scheme.. 455 doctors left the #public sector each year on average. With abt 24,000 doctors under the ministry, one doctor in the #publichealth #system serves approximately 2,000 people -- double the #WHO's recommended ratio"

    You're not wrong of course; all life is anarchy and it is up to us all collectively to agree to an order.

    The powers that be in the UK haven't forgotten about strike provisions being a compromise... they're working to erode them when they can!

    Under the last government, rules were changed so that a healthcare worker down to work on a day their union has declared it will strike, if that worker's name is against a line of the work-roster that is declared necessary for minimum "safe" staffing, and that worker has been informed of that fact in advance of the strike, can be fired if they go on strike.

    This is the gratitude with which healthcare workers are repaid after covid.

  8. Could someone kindly explain what the advantage is, from the employer's perspective, of locking out workers who have given notice of an imminent strike? Or, from the union's perspective, why this is a problem and worth complaining about? I understand that in general, a lockout is a way to put pressure on the labour force by denying them the opportunity to earn, but in such a case, the workers already announced their intention to forgo that opportunity.

    For example, here's an airline doing this: westjet.com/en-ca/news/2023/th

    And here's a port authority doing it (and then rescinding the lockout when the strike was disallowed by the regulator) :

  9. All new parents can now qualify for #Maternity Leave in #SouthAfrica. It doesn't matter whether you're a mother or a father, and it doesn't matter whether it's your biological child, a surrogate child, or an adopted child. If you've recently acquired a child, you get four months maternity leave. That's amazing! (It's still unpaid, though):

  10. RSA Found to have Wrongly Fired Staffer for Union Organising

    bylinetimes.com/2023/11/07/rsa

    "In 2019, the Royal Society of the Arts awarded the IWGB trade union with a Future of Work Award for making “an impact where traditional unions have struggled” by “placing decision-making power directly in the hands of workers”.

    But just four years later, when RSA employees tried to form a branch with that same union, a bitter fight with management ensued".

  14. Some important arguments on the status of third-country workers on EU labour markets and how they are prone to exploitation

  15. I've been thinking a lot about this recently because I have a digital nomad at home. In addition to the problems outlined in the article, there's also the question whether the free movement principle can be evoked in situations when an EU citizen works for an employer in a MS other than his/her residence & imposes a limit on working time spent abroad out of fear for taxation, need to open an office, labour law, etc.

  16. #EU #AI #GenerativeAI #AIAct #LabourLaw #TradeUnions: "The EU's emerging AI act contains so little on workers' rights that Europe will need a separate AI-labour law, trade unions say.

    Last Wednesday (14 June), the European Parliament adopted its position on the Artificial Intelligence Act — a game-changing set of rules for AI-based products and services.

    MEPs inched further on labour rights than the original European Commission proposal.

    But in the race to legislate potentially disruptive technologies, EU institutions are still largely overlooking the workers affected by incoming AI systems, unionists say.

    AI is changing workers' lives in many ways."

  17. Yet another reason to oppose the Anti Strike Bill - feminist campaign groups and the TUC say it will disproportionately affect women’s rights since the minimum service levels and restrictions will apply in sectors with a predominantly female workforce including health and education theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/f

  18. Making #labour #law fit for all those who labour

    Last Thursday, the Court of Justice of the #EU reached the conclusion that self-employed workers such as JK were indeed covered by EU anti-discrimination legislation.

    The question whether the conditions for access to such an activity fall within Article 3(1)(a) of #Directive 2000/78 does not depend on the classification of that activity as ‘employment’ or ‘self-employment’.

    The concept of ‘personal work’ has been developed precisely to extend the personal scope of application of employment and equality law beyond the narrow definition of the contract of employment—something ever more urgent given the increasing recourse to non-standard forms of #employment and (bogus) self-employment.

  19. In case anyone was still in any doubt…

    The head of the International Labour Organisation has denied the org backs the UK's new proposed anti-strike laws, after UK ministers repeatedly suggested the ILO supported government plans to enforce "minimum service levels" during public sector strikes bbc.co.uk/news/64313013
