WE SAY NO TO PALANTIR 🙅‍♂️ We and 120+ organisations and unions across Europe are calling on our governments and the European Commission to scrap all existing public sector contracts with Palantir. Read the open letter here: www.globaljustice.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Text reads: 120+ organisations and unions across Europe call on governments and the European Commission to SCRAP Palantir contracts. Palantir provides support to warmongers, drains our public wealth, deepens our dependence on tech billionaires. WE SAY NO TO PALANTIR.

It's also worth noting that the right to strike is protected by the ILO's Convention on workers' Freedom of Association and the Right to Organise. A convention which Canada ratified. More than 50 years ago.
