#Facebook #Kenya not paying #employees despite court order, #blacklisting for #UnionOrganising

A court order can be issued but the enforcement of that order is also critical. Allegations of #ForcedLabour, #HumanTrafficking and #UnionBusting, it is “typical of international corporate companies to disregard” laws in the continent.

A New App May Allow Workers To Unionize Anonymously

As most union organizers will recognize, however, an app can’t replace the trust-building element of face-to-face organizing.

#introduction I make small #Monochrome #Watercolours of buildings, particularly in #SmallTowns. I also #HandSculpt #Pitfired #Ceramic #Sculptures of #LifeModels, especially #Trans and #Intersex models.

Before covid I toured au & NZ specialising in #Modelling for #FineArtPhotography, however I won't travel in a plague. I still work in #UnionOrganising & #WorkersRights in #LifeModelling.

I dabble in other media including #SelfPortrait #MonochromePhotography

Fletcher is my dog.

A small talk #introduction

I'm a #Queer #LifeModel who does #Watercolours (mostly buildings I've visited) and #Pitfired #Ceramic #Sculpture (mostly human forms). I also work at a med school and I'm involved in arts #UnionOrganising

I used to be a #SW pre-covid when I lived in a city, but there are no venues for a 300km radius and I was very much venue based.

I've been happily married for nearly a decade. We have a #CavalierKingCharlesSpaniel and two ex street cats both named after the same dead white guy (we all make decisions when we're young). We fostered a third cat for a short while and she was also named after the same dead white guy.

We live in a 1910 cottage. It's in livable condition but needs a lot of work, which we're learning to do. We're a full day's travel from any major city (on the bright side we're a fairly equal distance from three capital cities).

Small scale #SubsistenceFarming is pretty standard around here as fresh food availability is low and intermittent. I have a bit of farming experience from past employment and am currently working on maintaining the existing #Orchard and building a large #VegetableGarden

@moldybasil Hi Sean. I'm sure by now you've found plenty of people to advise you.

I'm guessing you've also found lots of folk that are involved with #UnionOrganising, like me.

Just be aware that there are people, like me, from all corners of the globe. So just be sure, before you engage in any serious amount of work, that they are from, I presume in your case, the US.

Everyone here is awesome so you should have no probes.

Good luck,

Dave
