  1. End #zero-hours contracts: protect #workers from #exploitation

    Insecure #work rampant. Millions are unsure how much they’ll earn from week to week

    They struggle to plan their lives, look after their children, or budget for future

    Govt's manifesto committed to banning zero-hours contracts by providing #WorkersRights to guaranteed hours, other protections

    - #Employers are seeking to undermine the pledge

  17. Blackpool – Kicking the Poorest People into the Gutter

    Improving the lives of people "entrenched in poverty" would be praiseworthy if this project did that but gentrification removes poverty from an area by forceable displacement of the current poverty stricken residents. The council fails to clarify how the lives of the evicted are being improved. Hundreds of families in one of England’s poorest neighbourhoods will be evicted under a £90m plan described by critics as a “mass dispersion” of vulnerable people. 400 homes in Blackpool will […]

  23. @Delphi

    This is why I find so called 'smart' meters, currently, a nuisance

    An #electric/gas meter has always been the property & responsibility of the power corporation

    #SmartMeters have a 1 year warranty, after which the homeowner needs to pay to get it fixed!

    Quite simply, life continues to get worse in the #UK

    Rex Weyler
    26 February 2020

    "The link between #ecological protection and #HumanRights is evident in #Ecuador’s #Amazon basin, where massive #OilPollution has destroyed #forests and #farms and left some of the world’s poorest people with #BirthDefects and a #cancer epidemic. In 1993, Ecuador’s Frente de Defensa de la Amazonía (FDA), representing 30,000 victims of #Chevron’s toxic oil waste, asked Donziger to help them win compensation for what is likely the largest oil-related human disaster in history."
