On Valentines Day food delivery couriers will be striking with the intention of causing major disruption on the busiest night of the year. Deliveroo & others are terrified after the success of round one. Deliveroo prefer to gaslight & divide rather than engage with workers 🧵

Motto Books being able to run a business based on scamming their staff & artists for like 15 years without any consequences might be a good example how a total lack of a solidary infrastructure and organized backup among 'creative workers' sustains the worst kind of enterprise 🤔

Being a precarious worker is exhausting!

Solidarity with The RSA workers on strike for the first time in the organisation’s 270 year history.

They’re fighting real terms pay cuts whilst management salaries soar. Andy Haldane is paying himself close to £200k.

Huge support for workers in RSA Union 🚩🚩🚩

In the past there was racial segregation in jobs where certain labour was done by people of colour. Decades on we see the same racial division happening in plain sight but now its called “outsourcing” and the “gig economy”.

🚨BREAKING: The Government has suffered a major defeat as the High Court rules that its “strike-breaking” agency worker regulations are unlawful.

The important judgement means employers can no longer use agency staff to fill in for striking workers during industrial action.

Brilliant article on how Ogilvy UK are failing to live up to the anti-racist, pro-equality commitments that they made following BLM.

Hi 👋 Ogilvy,

Nice tweet!

You might want to remind OgilvyUK of your founder’s words below 👇

“Treating other people as human beings” includes making sure your outsourcing partner is paying your office night-cleaners a liveable wage and full sick pay: uvwunion.org.uk/en/campaigns/m…

The below is a statement from Ogilvy UK’s website.

But Ogilvy UK is refusing to put pressure on its outsourcing partner Anabas to meet the demands of its black, brown and migrant night-shift cleaners who will be striking for:

💰a liveable £15 p/h wage
🤒 full sick pay
