@Barclays profits from Genocide. A thread 🧵

It's indisputable that @Barclays profits from the Genocide in Gaza. Our workers are tired of the lies and cannot tolerate complicity.

@RMPaul6 @revsoc21 Love you too

Tenants in Scotland’s private rental sector have just lost the rent cap and eviction moratorium reforms. Tony Boardman reports on what’s happened since the reform was revoked, comments on what we can learn, and considers how we build a fightback. rs21.org.uk/2024/06/04/ren…

We’re ready 🫡

Congratulations to workers at @StandGlasgow for leading the first successful “Serve Solidarity” boycott of apartheid products. They lead the way in Scotland’s working-class resistance to genocide in Palestine 🇵🇸 Hospitality workers, get involved: linktr.ee/glasgowhospita…

We have collated free resources that offer a clear history of the occupation, Israel's military industrial complex, and this latest explosion of violence in Gaza. This includes 6 free ebooks:

@backup_sandwich @MPIWG @SophiaRoosth congrats lachie!!! close to us!?

Friends, i know it's that awful time when everyone announces that they've won the job lottery, and I'm so sorry to join in, but i'm just baffled and ecstatic to say that I'll be a postdoc at @MPIWG for the next coupla years, working under the brilliant @SophiaRoosth!

After six weeks on strike, we have voted to accept a contract. We write as union organizers from Santa Cruz, where workers on our campus voted No by a massive margin. Here is our perspective on ratification. 🧵 drive.google.com/file/d/14phR4l…

The majority of half our union members voted to ratify the contract. But our work does not end here. docs.google.com/document/d/1p4…

Always think of this clip when I see the British media establishment duty-shame emergency service workers for taking industrial action. It is truly obscene that public servants are expected to show dedication without remuneration. Solidarity to the health workers.

"Then consider the indefinite strike. The pressure on the university does not fluctuate and dissipate. There is, first of all, a very strong incentive not to let such an action begin because of how difficult it might be to get staff back to work." notesfrombelow.org/article/how-st…

The ratification vote on the tentative agreement reached by the two grad unit bargaining teams opens today. No participant in the strike, nor any observer of it, could deny that there is widespread disagreement about the TA, and that the ratification vote will be contentious. 🧵

@tiachungswanson We held many actions before grade withholding - the reason this person likely knows about the ones after is *because* of the effectiveness of grade withholding, the disarray it caused in the university, the kinds of organisation/solidarity it demanded. Bad take.

POV from a friend who was at the ucsc wildcat strikes:

Statement from BT members who opposed the Tentative Agreement. #UAWonStrike #FairUCNow drive.google.com/file/d/1xbl62K…

Hey UC workers! Columbia workers like me are tired of hearing lies about our contract to encourage premature concessions. NOBODY here thinks striking for longer hurt us. Read our open letter w/ over 100 member signatures and growing to decide for yourself docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

@GMB @richardm56 All solidarity with the strikes!!!

'Will you answer the question Mr Lynch, I won't let you get away with nonsense' @richardm56 grills the General Secretary of the RMT, Mick Lynch over striking over the Christmas period

There are two paths forward, increasingly at odds with one another, that have congealed within the UC strike. #UAWonSTRIKE #FairUCNow

the people want a COLA

@talibali MCSfT!!!

This place is imploding. Find me on OnlyFans where I will fanboy about all the things and engage with the 3 most impt—and interlinked—schools of thought: postcolonialism, Mariah Carey School for Thots, and Peak Petty Studies.
