Rishi Sunak's new anti-union legislation means when workers democratically vote to strike, they could be forced to work and sacked if they don’t. Join the campaign to protect the right to strike. megaphone.org.uk/petitions/prot… via Megaphone UK

Yesterday, we were presented with a new offer. It is for 7% backdated to July 2022, and another 5% from July 2023. This offer is testament to the power of collective action, but we will also be honest and sober in our discussions. Our statement: fbu.org.uk/news/2023/02/0…

This is a wake-up call for the Scottish government to #PayAttention. We need to make teaching an attractive profession. This is one of my main reasons for striking. It’s not just about current teachers but also about those still to come.

My son is studying politics. He said-the history of TU’s is to pitch a pay rise in line with inflation. It’s negotiated and an agreements made. Key word- negotiation!!!! Where are you Shirley-Anne????? #Eis #ScottishParliament #RightToStrike #tuc

And mind you bring your tambourines - it’s St. Tambourines’s Day on March 11th. (Patron Saint of Striking Teachers.) 😁✊🏽

There remains strong public support for a #betterdealforteachers with more Scots supporting teacher strikes than are opposed.

Feeling quite emotional tonight. We have been part of history, hopefully there is a realisation of democracy in trade unionism. I am proud of what we’ve achieved, I’m proud of my members! This was important. #eis #PayAttention

Jonathan Cook Almost no one has any idea of the disparity of casualties in this never ending conflict. Here is a graph, sourced from UN data. It’s not pretty. Interestingly, though I have posted this often, there has been almost no reaction.

As a result of SEPA confirming rising water levels at the River Tyne in Haddington, sandbags are being deployed in the area close to the Nungate Bridge. Action is being taken as a precautionary measure following a multi-agency flood group meeting. More: orlo.uk/dLtFh
