  1. CW: UK politics, Canada politics, workers' rights

    As the citizen of two nations, the news this week is … interesting. Compare the below, if you will.

    Canada: #BillC58 would ban employers from bringing in new workers to perform the work of unionized employees who are on strike or locked out of their jobs.

    UK: 1 in 5 workers in Britain (5.5 million workers) are at risk of losing their right to strike as a result of the #StrikesAct.

  2. Please join me and add your name to this Organisehq open letter, calling on party leaders to pledge to repeal the anti-strikes bill in their manifestos

  3. In the #UK in particular the House of Commons had passed a bill which would infringe upon our #RightToStrike.

    While legally today I'm on strike because of our ongoing pay dispute (fighting real terms paycuts), I'm very glad that our strike day is scheduled to coincide with the #Feb1 strikes across a variety of sectors as we stand together to remind everyone how important this right is.

    I'll be at the #Edinburgh rally on the Mound at 5pm.

  4. For a #postdoc, accepting the current #UCEA pay offer still amounts to a real-world pay-cut of over £6,000 since 2011!
    How is that fair?
    If you are a #UCU member, vote to reject the pay offer! If you aren't, consider joining, or donating to the #FightingFund.

  5. "This is the 2nd week running the Sunday morning politics shows have failed to raise with a minister Government plans to restrict the democratic right of #Workers to take #IndustrialAction - forcing people to work against their will & allowing them to be #sacked if they won’t submit! So let’s do it for them " @PeterStefanovic @socialistsunday @joinaunion #JoinAUnion #RightToStrike #RightToProtest #EnoughIsEnough #SaveOurNHS #DefundTheBBC #ToryCostOfGreedCrisis #ToryBrexitDisaster

  6. Defend the Right to Strike

    Legislation proposed by the Tory govt will override a workers’ right to withdraw their labour, forcing them to work against their will.

    Right to strike is a fundamental democratic right

    It's no accident that this right is under attack at the very moment the public is fighting back against the #CostOfGreedCrisis
