@LaurelQuarrel - and this is exactly why it drives me up the wall when people talk about politics as ‘ they are all the same ‘. No they are not!!! the Labour movement brought you - The weekend , The40 hour work week , paid holidays, and even the Labour Party brought us The NHS - free at the point of use. And the right choose to try and destroy all those gains. For whatever failings on left it is not the same. #Labour #LabourMovement

I left and blocked a Labour Facebook group, Labour Heartlands, for unchecked #transphobia within the #LabourMovement there. I hadn't considered the Right Wing Culture Wars on the agenda for Leftist discussion. It's not. They were doing Right Wing bidding, debasing themselves, making issue of pronoun nametags IN A BANK. Admin posted a Gervais video and saying there are "two sides to pronouns" and Transphobia. When I stated everyone has pronouns, a dim Labour Laughing Boy left his little emoji.

@arevvik

but no successfull #labour leader in history has ever come out unequivocally for striking workers ..... it is a vote loser

It is pretty clear were #labour in power they would be talking to the #nurses and making a deal that allows them to settle.

Anyone making an equivalence between the most unpleasant #rightWing #toriesOut govt in postWar history & #starmer's #labour does the #labourMovement a disservice

"Rather than union action inconveniencing everybody else, the decline of unions has dragged down the wages of non-unionised workers, too, according to a US study. A strong labour movement, in other words, brings up everyone’s living standards"

Very good column from @owenpeterjones (who should post here more often).

(2/3) The agreement is disappointing.Terms are the same as offered to the Union a few weeks ago, which led to the strike notice and the Ford gov't's hasty tabling of Back to Work legislation. At the table, Gov't refused to budge on CUPE's asks for funding to guarantee services and staffing levels in all schools.

(1/2) After narrowly avoiding a constitutional challenge caused by Ontario gov't's short-sighted use of the notwithstanding clause in the Charter, CUPE and Ontario have reached a tentative agreement regarding education workers across Ontario.
