Support the P&O Workers!

Dear Colleagues,

I am sure that you have been appalled by the appalling behaviour of P&O in issuing an instant redundancy notice via a video message. Everything that we know about gangster capitalism is expressed in their appalling behaviour.

So please sign and share the TUC petition to lend support for the campaign for reinstatement.

The petition is here: Save P&O Jobs - Save Britain's Ferries | Megaphone UK

Follow the news on the RMT protest action - and support this where you can - here: RMT organises emergency P&O demonstrations - rmt

Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival: 15-17th July 2022

 Dear Colleagues,

Although I always promote Tolpuddle in the sidebar of this blog, as I am going to attend again this year I thought I would give the event an extra special plug - and as this year's Festival is live/real - and not via Zoom.

All registration info is here: https://tolpuddlemartyrs.org.uk/festival/

See you in July!

International Women's Day: Hold employers to account

Dear Colleagues,

Just a brief post to promote a new resource from the TUC to challenge employers who make a pretence on International Women's Day of a commitment to sex and gender equality. 

As was witnesses during the Black Lives Matter (BLM) resurgence following the murder of George Floyd many large corporations attempted to model themselves as active anti-racist organisations when in truth they were attempting a form of corporate 'whitewash'. 

The new resource from the TUC helps give activists the tools to challenge any employer making claims to equality with questions on issues ranging from its policy on equal pay to its family friendly practices. 

Let us hold employers to account on International Women's Day
