More than 350 Birmingham bin workers are on strike, due to the council’s decision to abolish the safety critical Waste Recycling and Collection Officer (WRCO) role. This means pay cuts of up £8,000 for 150 workers. Birmingham’s refuse staff believe the scrapping of the WRCO role is the first step in a broader campaign of cuts across a service that is already on its knees. Please sign our petition to support these workers and force the Council leader and Head Commissioner to listen to its workers and resolve this dispute!
Until we actually get communist style state ownership of steel, we're paying £700k a day and taking on all running costs and liability for the fixed assets, which are still owned by capitalists over at the Chinese communist party.
Ministers "scramble" to keep the lights on, running around like headless chickens and convening on a weekend.
When we could have done this in a single bound from a position of advantage in 2017
Vote tory, get communism anyway...
Workers kicked owners out of steel plant. Police turned up. Police sided with workers for the first time in #uk history. Now the state discusses expropriating private property in interests of state and workers.
#Corbyn promised to nationalise steel in 2017 and 2019 but we said no because we didn't want communism. 7 years later, we've lost port talbot and we're giving the Chinese communist party a billion quid and we've ended up with communism anyway...
Migrant workers still face appealing conditions, beatings, exploitation, and alarming mortality rate in #korea
Unfortunately, now that Radio Free Asia is gone, they and othet US state supported programs for enhancing freedom and democracy in Asia will be unable to cover their harrowing stories.
Come to think of it, they were apparently unable to cover it even when they existed...
