    Have you recently participated in an industry training program? Ie. coding bootcamp, apprenticeship readiness program, hospitality training or something similar?
    Im attempting to gather information about what these programs can do to help eliminate barriers to participation. Did you need childcare? Transportation assistance? Supplemental income?
    What was your experience with the program, and did it properly prepare you for a job in the industry?
    Were you educated on your rights as a worker? (Labor Laws and regulations, safety training, right to organize your workplace, etc)
    Bonus points if you are/were living and working in the US and if you are of the BIPOC and/or LGBTQ+ community.
    Please boost for reach!
    Thank you!!

  7. "Our dispute is over the decision by #Unite Management to unilaterally recognise a staff association with no mandate or majority support from within Unite Officers. This is something that not only goes against a democratic decision taken by the majority of Unite Officers, but stands in contrast to the very principles of collective responsibility, lay member-led decision making, and basic #TradeUnion values that Unite as both a trade union and our employer stands for."

  12. @ajsadauskas.bsky.social Related question for folks on the Fediverse: Are there any unions that you know of that are currently on the Fedi?

    If a major Australian Union created a BlueSky account and BridgyFeded it, would you follow it?

    What if it were a Pixelfed account that's BridgyFeded to BlueSky?

    ...you live in a country where #tradeunion leaders are buried in concrete...or sit at the table with employers.

  22. Llanelli retail staff report high levels of abuse as campaign calls for stronger protections

    Retail staff in Llanelli say they continue to face unacceptable levels of verbal abuse, threats and physical assault while doing their jobs — prompting renewed calls for public respect and tougher enforcement.

    The Freedom from Fear campaign, led by trade union Usdaw, was marked at Tesco Trostre with a visit from Dame Nia Griffith MP, alongside Lee Waters MS, Cllr Dot Jones and other local representatives. The event aimed to raise awareness of the abuse faced by shop workers and encourage the public to “keep your cool” in the run-up to Christmas.

    Survey shows 71% of retail staff verbally abused

    Interim results from Usdaw’s 2025 survey — based on responses from over 3,000 retail workers — show that:

    • 71% have experienced verbal abuse in the past year
    • 48% were threatened by a customer
    • 9% were assaulted

    Usdaw general secretary Joanne Thomas said the figures show a “slight downturn” compared to previous years, but warned that the scale of abuse remains “shocking”.

    “Nearly three-quarters of those working in retail are regularly facing abuse from customers,” she said. “Far too many are experiencing threats and violence. Our members are saying loud and clear that enough is enough.”

    Local voices call for change

    Dame Nia Griffith MP said retail workers “deserve to be treated with respect” and backed Usdaw’s call for stronger legal protections.

    “We’re introducing a new standalone offence of assaulting a retail worker,” she said. “That gives shop staff the protection they need and sends a clear message that abuse will not be tolerated.”

    She also pointed to Labour’s Crime and Policing Bill, which removes the £200 threshold for prosecuting shoplifting and introduces new powers to ban repeat offenders.

    Campaigners urge public to ‘respect shop workers’

    Usdaw activists say incidents tend to rise in December as shops get busier and customer frustration grows. The union is encouraging staff to report abuse and reject the idea that it’s “part of the job”.

    The Freedom from Fear campaign continues throughout the year, with workplace and community events planned across South Wales.

  25. The imagery used by the US Department of Labour draws on fascist design patterns that are directly reminiscent of Nazi propaganda from the 1930s. Once again, there is no denying that there is no accounting for bad taste. Not only is there a lack of aesthetic education, but the basis of fascism remains an inexhaustible supply of uneducated stupidity and ignorance, especially in leadership positions.

  27. @cardamomaddict It may be that construction in 2014 was on Weber, going under the train tracks near Victoria? I recall that did happen first, to help make up for the coming changes to King. 2014 was the last year of the parade on King.

    King near Allen in September 2015 wasn’t amenable to a parade, though 😀🍻❤️
