"The Union des Populations du Cameroun is a particularly interesting subject for a case study in African politics because it went against the dominant pattern of nationalist policies in French sub-Saharan Africa. It demanded the independence of Cameroun from Greater France; it called for reunification with the neighbouring colony of the British Cameroons; it viewed colonialism as based on capitalist exploitation and did not hesitate to say so, and it persisted in this radical challenge despite intense administrative and, later, military repression.

Oh look. It's "socialist" Biden begging Congress to bust up a union strike. What a friend of labour! (don't laugh!)

Notice how it's not described as a "class struggle," or as a "dispute between business and labor," but as a "labor dispute," as if the workers were the ones causing the problem. Also notice how nothing substantive about the dispute has made it into this "summary" of otherwise "breaking news." The reader is left to wonder just why those dastardly union workers want to cosplay as The Grinch and steal Christmas.

Parenti documented, decades ago, how the mass media covered union activity, in his book Inventing Reality, even pulling timely examples from this very institution (The New York Times) IIRC. The playbook hasn't changed.

I am in a trade union (#Unite).

Join a trade union, even if self-employed/sub-contractor/gig worker/student/unemployed/homemaker/carer/retired.

Support others, be supported. Beat those who would oppress you if they could.

Civil servants threaten #strikes? Lets see if #tradeunionism still exists in Britain.

Civil servants have run the Tory #austerity system. They know what hell awaits if they become unemployed or precariously employed. They are best placed to know the rewards of staying in safe unionised employment. Are they willing to fight for their rights?

Could civil service strikes be this generation's 'miners strike'?

Will Left get it right this time?
