We thank Andy Burnham for his commitment to the cause of revolutionary unionism. Without the opportunists and careerist reactionaries that sell out the working class, we'd have a much harder time organising against this rotten system.

Happy bank holiday Monday (for those who the boss allows to be off the clock, that is). Just think; we're already 8/52 weeks on bringing the 4 day week to millions of workers, and we're not even organized yet! 15% of the way there. Wanna help us get to 100? 🥺👉👈

Two screenshots from Deep Space Nine of Rom, the sweetest, kindest, most adorable Ferengi ever. In the top image he’s holding a device that he’s reading off of. I thought it was a PADD but it’s noticeably smaller. He’s reading “Workers of the world unite.” And in the bottom image of his face, “You have nothing to lose but your chains.”

On a day dedicated to the martyrs of our economic class, the British establishment declared that our allegiance should be to the bureaucrats who slurp down subsidized beer and slop before voting away the crumbs you were told your ancestors died fighting for. Are we gonna let 'em?

When the Game Workers Union picketed Rockstar's UK offices, gamers complained about how radical trade unions would "delay" anticipated releases and make their games "woke". What are they actually doing? Removing BLOATWARE and SPYWARE from YOUR games. We fight YOUR side.

If you think sex workers "sell their bodies," but coal miners do not, your view of labor is clouded by your moralistic view of sexuality.

And who could forget 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ ROLLED STEEL JOIST.... SUNDAY!🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ Me. I can forget RSJS. Yaknow the rudest thing about the folks who installed this? They didn't tighten half the bolts! But, just like one big union: One bolt alone doesn't do much, but together they can achieve something MUCH greater.

There is a bolt missing. Good god THERE'S A BOLT MISSING

Be safe, folks: * Go with mates if you can * Don't take your phone if possible (or shut down + disable biometric unlock if not). * Keep a protest solicitor's number on your arm. * Have a plan. Cops will likely target the smaller group first, so look out for eachother! No pasaran ❤️

Anthropologist, Occupy activist, and fellow worker David Graeber was born on this day in 1961. #DirectActionGetsTheGoods #OTD
Direct action is the insistence, when faced with structures of unjust authority, on acting as if one is already free. From David Graeber, Direct Action: An Ethnography. The background is Graeber speaking from a position seated on the floor at the Maagdenhuis occupation at the University of Amsterdam in 2015.
