@therightarticle very interesting article #amazon #tradeunions

How do trade #unions generally work anyway?

What kinds of things are set for all, and what kind of things depend on workplace or even individual?

Could you get trapped into having to choose between membership and the ability to work remote?

Amazon workers in Coventry, England, are on the brink of historic union recognition. Their groundbreaking organising campaign shows that it is possible to fight back against injustice – even in the most hostile of environments.

These people know what is at stake for them. Sudan's civil society is on a very good path:

"those concerned call for a ceasefire from both sides and appeal to reason to stand firmly against the destructive plans that aim to abort the glorious revolution project and its ambition to transform the country into a democratic civil state of freedom, peace, and justice."

When I tell people I grew up in #Dorset they make assumptions: privately educated, lived in a pretty village, can ride a horse, spent whole summers fossil hunting on Jurassic Coast are just some of the wildly inaccurate things I’ve had said to me over the years.

But my comprehensive education in a small town 40 miles from JC did enable me to learn about the Tolpuddle Martyrs and the birth of #TradeUnions. For that, I’m proud!

Today I'm voting Yes in the USDAW ballot for continuation of the political fund. Trade unions are required by UK law to re-ballot their members every ten years on their approval of the fund which provides the means for all of the incredible progressive political activity that unions do, and in the case of USDAW that includes the amazing campaigns working with the Co-operative Party

From birdsite: members from 4 unions picketed East Midlands Labour Party office demanding they allow Greg Marshall to stand for Broxtowe. Waste of time. I just wish Labour affiliated Unions reviewed their affiliation altogether.

In a week’s time on Wed 1st Feb, many (perhaps the vast majority of) UK schools will be closed due to #Teachers going on #Strike . The Tory line is that this will unfairly inconvenience parents and employers, while harming children’s education.

In #Norwich on this day there will be a big rally of the trade unions through the city centre. How many parents will take the opportunity to educate their children about the value of #TradeUnions and #PoliticalProtest on this day?
