Wat er op het spel staat
Een greep uit het regeerakkoord:
Uitgeklede WW en WIA
Snoeiharde bezuinigingen op de zorg
AOW-leeftijd die steeds verder oploopt
Geen plannen voor de betaalbaarheid van woningen
Meer ongelijkheid; mensen met lage en middeninkomens gaan er alleen nog maar meer op achteruit
Dit zijn keuzes die onze zekerheden onder druk zetten. Zekerheden waar we jarenlang voor hebben gestreden. Dit laten we niet gebeuren. Samen laten we zien dat Nederland eerlijker kan én moet zijn. Pak samen met ons je toekomst terug!

Labour Day march for #eightHourDay by the #labourmovement in Melbourne April 1856: stonemasons and building workers on building sites around Melbourne stopped work and marched from the University of Melbourne to Parliament House achieved an eight-hour day. Their #directaction was a success, among the first organised workers in the world to achieve an eight-hour day, with no loss of pay.

In an attempt to undermine the collective amnesia of the working class of it's own history first up we hear from Sean Scalmer here at the launch of his book A Fair Day's Work: The Quest to Win Back Time and follow up with voices of working women at the Melbourne International Working Women's Day Rally here this year.
Australian public holidays are weird. This weekend, Tasmania has an extra day off for '8 hours day', a very specific Labour Day celebration. Victoria also celebrates Labour Day this weekend commemorating the establishment of an 8 hour working day. Meanwhile, Queensland celebrates Labour Day at the start of May, like most of the rest of the World, while NSW has Labour Day in October for reasons I don't know.
This weekend Canberra celebrates Canberra Day because politicians would rather talk about themselves than the average person.
South Australia has Adelaide Cup Day this weekend, because workers like nothing better than to lose their money to bookies and other crooks, while seeing whether their horse wins or dies.
WA had Labour Day last week because they are on a completely different time zone while Northern Territory doesn't have a Labour Day because it's too bloody hot to work there.
LABOUR DAY — THE HANDS THAT BUILT OUR TOMORROW
Today we honour those who keep the wheels turning — in rain, in wind, in silence.
From the kerbside to the classrooms, from hospitals to fields — every worker, every hand, every act of labour is a thread in the fabric of this nation.
Dignity in work. Fairness in pay. Safety in every shift.
This is the promise worth rebuilding — together.
Happy Labour day all ( I worked).

"The government’s love for teachers, doctors and nurses and disdain for the unions is slightly head-scratching given the unions are almost entirely made of teachers, doctors, and nurses."

I don't use my #VerticalSmoker often. A couple of highlights were #BBQ #SmokedPork for #LabourDay and this #CanadianThanksgiving Monday, BBQ #SmokedBeef Eye of Round.
For #Halloween, I was considering getting a bonfire going and throw some Fascists on the fire. But that is against the law, no burning rubbish. #ElbowUp
