I’m sorry but can anyone give me examples of OTHER UNIONS stepping in and speaking AGAINST ORGANISED WORKERS during a dispute on the future of their jobs, or is that just reserved for women organising in the sex industry?

There’s still time to apply for this @SocSciScotland funded PhD in contemporary Scottish history. I’ll be on the supervisory team along with Catriona MacDonald @UofGlasgow. The studentship also involves working with @FairTradeNation. sgsss.ac.uk/studentship/th…

The rail strike isn’t only about rail workers. This strike is coming first because the RMT is the frontline of the organised working class. If they win, millions of workers will feel emboldened to fight for a pay rise. And the establishment knows it.


Victory for the @RMTunion strike is existential for organised labour. Support the strike and join the ranks of ‘militant’ unionist to protect workers rights for all.

The Labour Party was founded by the trade unions and we expect Labour MPs to defend workers, by words and by actions. To instruct Labour MPs not to be on picket lines with workers speaks volumes. 1/2


Incredible worker solidarity against attempts to sow division🌹✊ support the strike, pals

. @GBNEWS were setting up this taxi driver to slag off the rail unions about this week’s strikes. Watch what happens next. Not surprised the questions stopped there!

“RMT members will not meekly join the dole queue in order to protect the private profits of the people who have been ripping this country off for 30 years.”

Rail unions have warned that a breakthrough in talks to avoid rail strikes taking place next week is looking unlikely. RMT Assistant General Sec Eddie Dempsey believes the govt 'is determined to pour petrol on this fire' & do 'everything it can to make sure this isn't resolved.'
