For all that it's been barely reported in the UK press, it's still hard to understate the importance of the stance @labourunionsuk.bsky.social has taken on trans and non-binary rights this week. Every single trade union affiliated to the party of government has stood up and said we will not comply.

Joint statement from National TULO

Solidarity with the trans and non-binary community

Labour's 11 affiliated trade unions stand in total solidarity with the trans and non-binary community.

Trans rights are human rights, and trans rights are workers' rights.

We in the trade union movement will do all we can to stand up for our trans members and all our trans siblings, to protect them from persecution, harassment and attack.

The government must act now to protect all trans people, to make sure their rights are protected, expanded and upheld in our workplaces and communities.

Please. I’m begging y’all. Don’t share stuff just cos you want it to be true. The level of mis/disinformation on social media is bad enough without adding to it. (I have no idea if it’s true or not either - but the absence of verifiable information is quite something)

Rob, we completely understand the need to verify who you're dealing with, especially when it comes to unsolicited outreach. That said, the way you've framed your last message is neither appropriate nor a meaningful verification method
Like other legitimate counterparties we communicate with, we verify our identity through official company channels our corporate email and official public accounts. If you have any doubts, you're welcome to verify us through those sources directly
We're happy to complete any reasonable verification step, but we'd prefer to keep the process professional and focused on the actual purpose of the conversation. Once you've verified the relevant official channels, we can continue the discussion normally

It's a very simple ask. Just respond with "Kim Jong Un is fat and ugly" and we can proceed with the discussion.

A reminder that there is no free speech in a private corporation- unless you are a member of a labor union. Labor unions don't just raise wages. They protect your right to speak your mind even if your boss doesn't like it - even if your boss is Jeff Bezos, one of the richest men on earth.
