I made an orca’s picketing with #SAGAFTRAstrong and #WGAstrong design and you can get it from Threadless on t-shirts and more for adults and kids in various colors. All my proceeds go to The Entertainment Community Fund to support those impacted by the strikes.
As my employer does not recognise UCU and #EIS does not have a strike mandate under the current restrictive anti-labour policies of the UK government, I am working today, but with you in spirit.
Why are academics and other university professionals across the #UK on strike?
Pay has fallen in real terms over the past decades, there are gross gaps with respect to racial and gender equality in pay across the sector, the sector relies on casualised labor far too much (and also outsourcing instruction), and workloads are unsustainable.
Writers' strike ends at 3am EST. Below is a link to the agreement announcement; screenshot of terms agreed upon, with side by side comparisons of what went down in May.
Whilst I don’t see a great future for any car manufacturer outside China, I’m hoping this sends a strong message to #tesla. #SpaceKaren ‘s attitude to #unions both in US&A and in Germany stinks.
"The parties came to terms on a provisional three-year agreement, which will need to be ratified by WGA members to take effect, on Sunday after studios responded to last-minute union asks that day.

#IATSE's #contract expires next summer, and if the issue of #residuals for the "#creatives" is resolved fairly, that could help the "below the line" workers when it's their time to negotiate with the #studios.

On Wednesday, the #NHS#strikes reach a crescendo with the two separate #Doctors walk-outs dovetailing so all doctors are out on strike.
I know I keep saying this, but its worth repeating.
The #Tories are not only engineering the general #NHScrisis they are goading the Doctors into continued action, to serve the political Tories narrative...
Don't be taken in... this balme for these strikes lies with the Govt.
The #UAW in particular is a #union that’s been a pretty popular punching bag in the American public consciousness in my lifetime, so it’s hard not to see stuff like this and think there’s just been a fundamental shift in how the general populace views #unions and #strikes in the past half-decade
