@VicMarket @cityofmelbourne @sallycapp @10NewsFirstMelb Fergus from the @VicMarket said that the trader hasn't breached the markets rules by selling nazi merchandise. lol might be time to update the rules then dickhead!?!??!

@VicMarket @cityofmelbourne @sallycapp since this @10NewsFirstMelb story, the @VicMarket say they "investigated the matter & have determined that the trader is acting within the market rules" & that they do not plan to do anything further to stop the sale of nazi memorabilia at the market🤮🤬 further efforts required

cool and normal that this guy is selling a range of nazi items at melbournes @VicMarket + that i emailed them about it over a week ago and haven’t had any reply @cityofmelbourne @sallycapp #vicmarket #antifakaren

Almost sixth months of industrial action 🤯 against a guy worth $24 BILLION Strike fund: bitly.ws/F5Yi Petition: megaphone.org.au/petitions/visy…

a boss at the port in Whyalla took down this poster from the break room and cut it up, so the MUA members sticky taped it back together and stuck it up again hahaha 🥲 @MaritimeUnionAU

workplace poster for my mate who works at the Bureau of Meterology. sounds like a cooked place to work at the moment, which the bosses tried to band-aid by....... renaming the BOM as "The Bureau" recently, which addresses a total of zero of the issues there hahah

@correnterosso its led by Andrew Copolov who’s doing his PhD at Monash on this stuff. sum support from Micro-Labs, the Young Workers Centre, St Kilda Bike Kitchen & the Transport Workers Union. hopefully @TWUAus and @VicUnions make it permanent at some stage 😝 more info flow-state.one

@wallmansam Nice. Who's paying for it?

there’s a prototype break room operating for gig workers in Naarm. delivery riders are some of the most precarious & atomised workers in australia. plz spread the word to anyone working in these industries & encourage them to drop in to 391 Queen st 1-7pm today or tomorrow only !

Australia's trams, trains and buses are running over 40 years late on meeting the requiremends of the Federal Disability Discrimination Act. It's time to make public transport accessible, says @wallmansam in his latest cartoon / campaign poster. overland.org.au/2023/05/make-p…

Happy May Day! here is an ode to the Retail and Fast Food Workers Union @raffwu one of my favourite unions, based on a quote from Anwen Crawford at the Better Read Than Dead strike

This week will see workers in universities taking industrial action, protesting and organising against the myriad of issues in the sector - particularly fair pay, manageable workloads and action against casualisation. #ausunions

@auriliazen @AltMediaWatch @VicMarket @cityofmelbourne @sallycapp cheers, still nothing what grubs @VicMarket

@wallmansam @AltMediaWatch @VicMarket @cityofmelbourne @sallycapp Not good, in fact disgusting, I hope you get a reply soon.

@jcgmurphy @NTEUUniMelb good on you mad dog

In this morning's lecture I got up and told my students about how crushing and insecure my work is at unimelb, and about the actions @NTEUUniMelb are taking to fight for a better workplace. I was a bit nervous about it to be honest! But things just have to change at melb uni.
