@gzxklair Hannah McCulloch Clare Burke teachers_as_workers TEFL Guild put together info page to guide Ts through maze of contracts in different countries. Hope this grows -unions in EU can help (?)- ELT working conditions are not perfect, but at least comparing can help us ask good Qs before signing contracts bit.ly/2U5X3yE

Today's strike to protest 19 job cuts at British Council. Great turnout & music by La Scala violinist & members of men's choir. And Wendy 🐕. Very emotional day. But had to be done.

Strong finish by Paula Rebolledo in #iatefl2019 mentioning "working conditions" "teachers being used and abused" "unions" ; even stronger point - where is support in this by IATEFL ?

I joined my teacher union yesterday. #IATEFL2019

parisa mehran paulwalsh@josipa74 General Union Japan generalunion.org/featured/88-en… They look like they know the issues. Great find. parisa mehran. I hope it goes well. We'll need to list them on TEFL Guild.

General Union Japan parisa mehran paulwalsh@josipa74 Hi General Union Japan, do you know of unions that support #ELT workers in other countries? Maybe some closer to where you are. Through teachers_as_workers we support TEFL Guild's project to find #TEFL-welcoming trade unions. Any experience?

General Union Japan parisa mehran paulwalsh@josipa74 teachers_as_workers TEFL Guild The UK's TEFL Workers' Union and Angry Lang Brigade were inspirational for us. We looked to pair up with a bigger union and UNITE union Ireland's organisers came out punching for us, so we partnered with them and together we have had successes. @IWW_WISERA v helpful.

Great session yesterday afternoon at the ETAS Professional Development Day on "The needs of teachers as workers"! Here are some of the issues that were raised. Looking forward to seeing where we go from here! #etas #PD #ELT #ELTevents
