My boss: [the manager of our client/partner] emailed me to tell you they don't want you mentioning unions to their employees.
Me: I'm pretty sure it's illegal to explicitly forbid union members organising, but the national industrial action has been announced publicly anyway.
Boss: Well they just don't want you to mention it.
Me: Remember on my first day, when I had to walk in due to rail strikes, and you said I could work from home for as long as those strikes continued? This is just like that. All I did was ask [our client/partner] if they were aware of the ongoing industrial action in order to address possible delays.
Boss: But if you were a member of the rail union --
Me: Which I am.
Boss: 😐

Nick and Annie also mentioned this in a recent episode of their podcast, but it is worrying how many of the small music venues that are either struggling or have already closed down. It must be so depressing to be an upcoming/indie musicians these days and being faced with fewer options to perform and platforms like Spotify now making payment changes that further disadvantages them.

Just saw this thread from United Musicians and Allied Workers, which highlights that Spotify’s new payment threshold will mean that 2/3 of the tracks on the platform won’t receive any payment at all in 2024.

Thanks for bringing attention to all this anons. That stratification of the music industry - where the biggest artists are doing incredibly well and there's fewer and fewer people who are making a decent living. It is bad for workers, bad for culture, and bad for people who love music.
I hate that fan culture is one of the boosters to this form of capitalism. It's why I think it's important to emphasise that streaming (as opposed to listening to) your fave's music actively makes the world worse. I don't think fandom has to contribute to making the rich richer and the poor poorer, but I think it's important to acknowledge that as currently practiced it often does.

do you have any advice on what to do when your workplace is unionized, but the union provides inadequate help to the workers?
an important question. the recent drive for unionising in the US is exciting, but many of the unions involved in these campaigns are about as complacent as it gets. organising for power within a union can be just as difficult as organising against the boss.
for the majority of unions, what they're willing to do for their members begins and ends with the contract they have bargained on your behalf. you have a right to see that contract, so request a copy. be persistent. be annoying if they are too slow. you have a right to see it within a timely manner.
the contract itself will be long and boring, but read the entire thing. it is the totality of what the company and the union have agreed to, and it dictates what you are and are not allowed to do within the limits of the contract.
there is nothing stopping you from taking an OT101 and learning how to speak with your coworkers about what they would like to see improved, and then build power from within to push for that towards the next contract negotiation. some unions are more democratic than others. some encourage membership to attend meetings, others aren't as comfortable with that. transparency differs greatly among the unions. regardless, organising is the same.
gather contact information, map your workplace, listen to your fellow workers and learn what they are frustrated about. agitate, educate, inoculate and continue to push. your union is supposed to represent you and the interests of all the workers performing covered work under the contract. get involved and stay involved. get the personal phone number of your steward and talk to them regularly. remind them again and again about what needs to change. don't suffer excuses, the most common of which will be "the contract is the contract." that contract can and will be renegotiated, so make sure everyone up the ladder knows your name, where you work, your local, and what needs to be changed. be a nuisance, and get as many of your fellow workers as possible to be nuisances until it gets fixed.
because if they don't represent you as you want to be represented, you can decertify from them and sign up with a union that will actually fight.

Labor Movement by Ricardo Levins Morales
Saw this poster from @socialjusticeinamerica and wanted to know more. Found the source at the Zinn Project.
More from Levins Morales. (Permanent discount for teachers!)
He wrote: "The social gains of humanity did not invent themselves and will not defend themselves. Only organized people can do that."

When we talk about the middle class left, we mean this.
Before its colonisation, the left used to organise, agitate and educate the working class. They'd challenge societal prejudices. But since being colonised by this mob, they hate most of em, not just white WC cos they're all racist as fuck, but especially the white van driving male who they blame for Brexit, emissions, racism, the crusades, inflation
These people need fucking slapping and detaching from politics, the left, activism and definitely labour history. It's not their space, they're not "allies" and certainly not comrades

'Organisers of a legendary fundraiser for striking miners are returning to the same venue in Camden Town for a “good old bop” 40th anniversary event.
Tickets for the London Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners’ return to the Electric Ballroom, on May 16, are already selling out.
The Pits and Perverts line-up is yet to be finalised but it promises a night of music, dance, drag, political speakers and compered by cabaret and performance artist David Hoyle.
Synth-pop political agitators Bronski Beat headlined the original gig, in December 1984, which drew more than 1,500 fans, gay activists and striking coal miners from across the country to Camden Town.
The story of the LGSM and the night at the Ballroom has become iconic after it was retold in the 2014 film Pride and its glittering cast including George MacKay, Dominic West, Andrew Scott, Imelda Staunton and Bill Nighy among others.
One of the original LGSM organisers, Mike Jackson, told me this week how proud he was about the group’s role in not only supporting the miners – but also changing attitudes towards lesbian and gay people.
Mr Jackson, who lives in King’s Cross, said: “This is the only Pits and Perverts event we’ve had since the original. And it’s really pleasing to be back at the Electric Ballroom. It’s going to be a very diverse night and a good old bop.
“I hadn’t been back there since that day so it was a strange feeling to go in there when we were organising.
“There are lot of ghosts in the Electric Ballroom. So many famous acts have passed through.”
I last spoke to Mike when a signed original Pits and Perverts poster – designed by Kevin Franklin – was put up at the King Charles I pub in King’s Cross in 2022.
On Sunday he was up in Rotherham, Yorkshire, speaking to the miners at a 40th anniversary event.
He said: “I harked back to what it was like as a young gay man in the 60s and 70s. Nobody liked us: politicians, courts, police.
“We had no rights to fight back with. It’s great that things have changed so much with that – and to think how we played a role in it all.
“The unions played a role too.
“Because long before we got those rights enshrined in law, the trade union movement had been helping by starting to look at employment rights, and all the other things that trade unions do.
“When the equalities legislation came in with Tony Blair, there was already a worked-out template for employment rules thanks to the unions.”
Mr Jackson said the LGSM had been “reconstituted” following the Pride movie and that he was part of a group of four remaining working on the legacy.
“We’ve all this merchandise that is still incredibly popular.
“People love our T-shirts. We give the profits away to good causes. We don’t want to be a charity.
“We want to be political. It’s been great to work with the Lesbian and Gays Support the Migrants.
“They are like our next generation really.”
Mr Jackson, a horticulturist who worked at Camden Garden Centre for 16 years, said he was tiring a little physically in old age but still remained as angry as ever.
“The fire is still there. The anger is still there.
“What is this nonsense about people becoming more right wing as they get older? The older I get the more angry I get.
“Because in so much, f*** all has changed.
“I am 72 days before the gig. I can tell you what the news will be: housing, education, war, benefits, the welfare state, greedy capitalism.
“At the same time my best friend is my bed. Sometimes I scream at my bed: ‘I love you, bed.’
“So with all this I am a bit surviving on adrenalin. It’s a bit scary. We are a bunch of amateurs really and it’s a big venue to sell tickets for.
“With the original, we felt the same but once we secured Bronski Beat – I think their Smalltown Boy was No 1 – we knew it would be a success.”
And he revealed his latest theory on where the night got its very excellent name from.
Mr Jackson said: “There’s a great little video you can find called Framed Youth – The Revenge of the Teenage Perverts.
“It was a video project created by the Lesbian and Youth Project, as they were called then, where youngsters had been given training and access to making a video – it was a Ken Livingstone thing, I think.
“This was 42 years ago – two years before the miners strike.
“They go into Ridley Road market in Dalston and simply ask the question: Can you tell me what a lesbian is? It’s like ‘a murderer’, ‘a sex maniac’.
“It’s so comical, but also quite dark. The lesbians were p***ing themselves laughing.
“But that’s what we wanted to do – take the insult, neutralise it and throw it back at people.”
The film, which won an award, is available on YouTube.
The original concert raised more £5,500, which was distributed to families in need.
Tickets for the 7pm event cost £20 and are available on the Electric Ballroom website.'

I'm going to make a longer post someday about Melshi's importance to the story and to Cassian specifically. But right now I'm fixated on this beach scene from episode 11 where he ruminates on the getting to breathe in the fresh air in what feels like an eternity - a most basic quality of life that he had relegated to the deep recesses of his mind because that's just how brutally the prison had dehumanised him and the other inmates.
Tumblr media
Melshi was the first person to suggest to Cassian that they spread the word because he was thinking about just how many prisoners may have died in their attempt to escape Narkina 5 to reclaim something as fundamental as a right to life. He understands that if they don't talk about it, five thousand lives will have perished for nothing with no one to remember their names or light a candle in their memory. Melshi is the first to suggest that he and Cassian take this personal fight to a popular level - to educate, agitate, and organise others against the empire because he understands the five thousand people of that prison deserved to rest their feet in the sand and take in the fresh air too. It just took me back to a section in Paulo Freire's The Pedagogy of the Oppressed (1970) where he says the following words: Who are better prepared than the oppressed to understand the terrible significance of an oppressive society? Who suffer the effects of oppression more than the oppressed? Who can better understand the necessity of liberation? They will not gain this liberation by chance but through the praxis of their quest for it, through their recognition of the necessity to fight for it. And this fight, because of the purpose given it by the oppressed, will actually constitute an act of love opposing the lovelessness which lies at the heart of the oppressors' violence, lovelessness even when clothed in false generosity. I'm eager to see Melshi return for season 2, especially because despite being one of the most reticent members of Unit Five-Two-D, he was possibly the most radicalised of them all from the very beginning. I'm really hoping we see his journey towards becoming Sergeant Melshi in the rebel alliance and how he conglomerated other broken, battered, and defeated people into a rebellion. ~ Andor, S01E11 (2022)

The revolutionaries organised in social-democratic groups did not bring any "consciousness" to the proletariat. Of course an exposition or a theoretical article on Marxism was very useful to the workers: its use however was not to give consciousness or the idea of class struggle, but simply to clarify things and provoke further thought. Lenin did not understand this reality. He not only wanted to bring to the working class consciousness of the necessity of socialism in general, he also wanted to give them imperative watchwords explaining what they must do at a specific time. And this was quite normal since Lenin's party alone (as the trustee of class consciousness) was fit to discern the general interest of the working class beyond all its divisions into various strata, to analyse the situation at all times and to formulate appropriate watchwords.
Well, the 1905 revolution would have to show the practical inability of the Bolshevik party to direct the working class and reveal the "behindness" of the vanguard party. All historians, even those favourable to the Bolsheviks, recognised that in 1905 the Bolshevik party understood nothing about the Soviets. The appearance of new forms of organisation aroused the distrust of the Bolsheviks: Lenin stated that the Soviets were "neither a working class parliament nor an organ of self-government". The important thing is to see that the Russian workers did not know that they were going to form Soviets. Only a very small minority amongst them knew about the experience of the Paris commune and yet they created an embryonic worker's state, though no-one had educated them. The Kautskyist-Leninist thesis in fact denies the working class all power of original creation when not guided by the party, (as the fusion of the working class movement and socialism). Now you can see that in 1905, to take up a phrase from Theses on Feuerbach, "the educator himself needs educating".
Yet Lenin did accomplish revolutionary work (his position on the war amongst others) as opposed to Kautsky. But in reality Lenin was only revolutionary when he went against his theory of class consciousness. Let's take the case of his activity between February and October 1917. Lenin had worked for more than 15 years (since 1900) to create a vanguard organisation which would realise the union of "socialism" and the "working class movement". He sought to regroup "political leaders" (the "representatives of the vanguard capable of organising and leading the movement".) In 1917, as in 1905, this political leadership, represented by the central committee of the Bolshevik party, showed itself beneath the tasks of the day, and behind the revolutionary activity of the proletariat. All historians, including the Stalinist and Trotskyist ones, show that Lenin had to fight a long and difficult battle against the current in his own organisation to make his ideas triumph. And he was only able to succeed by leaning on the workers of the party, on the true vanguard organised in the factories inside or around social-democratic circles.
It will be said that all this would have been impossible without the activity put in over many years by the Bolsheviks, as much on the level of workers' everyday struggles as on that of the defence and propagation of revolutionary ideas. The' great majority of the Bolsheviks, with Lenin in the foreground, did indeed contribute through their unceasing propaganda and agitation to the insurrection of October 1917. As revolutionary militants, they played an effective role: but as the "leadership of the class" or the "conscious vanguard", they were behind the proletariat. The revolution took place against the ideas of What Is To Be Done? and to the extent that these ideas were applied (created by an organ directing the working class but separated from it) they showed themselves to be a check and obstacle to the revolution. In 1905 Lenin was behind history because he clung to the ideas of What Is To Be Done? In 1917 Lenin took part in the real movement of the Russian masses and in doing this rejected in his practice the concepts developed in What Is To Be Done?”

PHOTOGRAPHY |  STEPHEN JAMES - COMRADE SISTERS: WOMEN OF THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY
Il Black Panther party fu fondato nel 1966 a Oakland, in California, da Huey P. Newton e Bobby Seale, per difendere e sostenere la comunità afroamericana a cui mancava tutto: casa, cibo, assistenza sanitaria, lavoro e le giuste opportunità scolastiche. C’è stata una tendenza a dimenticare che il lavoro di organizzazione che ha reso così importante il Bpp era in gran parte portato avanti dalle donne. Conosciamo il movimento soprattutto per le vicende legate ai loro leader uomini ma in realtà ben sette su dieci erano donne, di età e background differenti. Il libro ‘Comrade sisters. Women of the Black panther party’ del fotografo Stephen James racconta proprio la loro storia. Shames che all’epoca ha vent’anni ed è uno studente dell’università  di Berkeley, incontra Seale, a cui mostra alcune delle sue foto delle attività del Bpp. Seale decide di pubblicarle sul giornale del partito e Shames diventa così il loro fotografo ufficiale per sette anni. Le sue foto sono incredibili testimonianze delle vite di queste donne.
The Black Panther Party was founded in Oakland, California, in 1966. Some know the Party's history as a movement for the social, political, economic and spiritual upliftment of Black and indigenous people of colour - but to this day, few know the story of the backbone of the Party: the women. It's estimated that six out of ten Panther Party members were women. While these remarkable women of all ages and diverse backgrounds were regularly making headlines agitating, protesting, and organising, off-stage these same women were building communities and enacting social justice, providing food, housing, education, healthcare, and more. ‘Comrade sisters. Women of the Black panther party’ is their story. The book combines photos by Stephen Shames, who at the time was a 20-year-old college student at Berkeley. With the complete trust of the Black Panther Party, Shames took intimate, behind-the-scenes photographs that fully portrayed Party members' lives.

Tumblr won't let me postt Ireland protesting Biden's visit on standing in solidarity with Palestine. Biden was using the anniversary of good Friday agreement to talk about peace while actively supporting and funding the Israel apartheid state which they say is just not acceptable by a group called Irish anti war movement, they called it a protest against US imperialism with a banner of old anarchists titled agitate, educate, organise. With another pic on the slide that says "NO TO NATO"
Following with actual pics of a Palestinian photographer taking amazing shots of the March for good Friday celebration in the old city of Jerusalem with Christian Palestinians.
I hate social MEDIA SO MUCH
And even twitch doesn't like politics being spoken about AT ALL which sucks because artists usually aren't like that but I guess that shit isn't SAFE FOR WORK

Blatantly Partisan Party Review XXXVIII (federal 2022): Reignite Democracy Australia
Running where: Group R for the Senate in Victoria, and numerous sympathetic candidates in all states and territories—see below for list of indies
Prior reviews:  None, this is a new party
It’s never a good start when you need a prominent page on your website to beg your supporters not to break electoral law. Reignite Democracy Australia (RDA) failed to understand laws around electoral ad authorisation, got in trouble, and now they have a page urging followers to display an authorisation on all ads. It’s one of the first things you see when you visit the site of the organisation created by anti-vax agitator Monica Smit, who has been charged with incitement over Melbourne lockdown protests last year. Smit has led and spoken at plenty of so-called “freedom” rallies and hung out with Craig Kelly, so you can pretty safely assume her views and character. There are even more unsavoury individuals who’ve been involved with RDA.
RDA sought to register as a political party last year. This turned into a farcical process where they seem to have basically just ghosted the AEC. You can read the AEC’s rejection of their application here. Since then, they proclaimed they would join the United Australia Party, and then walked it back, deciding in February 2022 to be “non-partisan”. Smit is now quite mad at the UAP because some of its how-to-vote cards place the Liberals above other “freedom parties” (aka total cookers) like the Australian Federation Party, Informed Medical Options, or the Great Australian Party. Smit and her partner Morgan Jonas are standing as grouped independents for the Senate in Victoria (Group R), and the RDA now lists a range of ideologically-friendly people on its website—more on that below.
First, you might want to know about RDA’s platform. They pull the usual trick of racist anti-vaxxer groups, claiming to be neither. The second question in their FAQ asks “Is RDA a right-wing, racist, anti-Semitic or white supremacist organisation?” As I’ve said before, if you have to answer such questions prominently, it suggests you are either very bad at communication or the accusation is true. And RDA really are not that bad at communication: they deliberately choose to emphasise “liberty” and “choice” to appear more moderate than conspiracy theorists and have won a large following.
Of course, once you dig into this group and who they associate with, you realise this is just another anti-vax, anti-lockdown, anti-mask, anti-any-public-health-measure-that-might-slightly-inconvenience-me group. They’re the types who’ve disingenuously appropriated “my body, my choice” from women’s rights campaigners to encourage vaccine hesitancy. Their website has pages on how to wiggle out of public health laws and a “save our kids” initiative intended to sow distrust in vaccination for children—grossly irresponsible stuff at the best of times. There is also a business directory so you can patronise all the companies that don’t mind if you get covid. As this Crikey article sets out, RDA has claimed all sorts of things from calling contact tracing unconstitutional through to calling for chief health officers to be tried for crimes against humanity. As is all this isn't bad enough, Smit is virulently transphobic and thinks sex education about diverse gender and sexual identities is "perverted".
The website contains a Candidate Search feature that lists sympathetic candidates. Most are from “freedom” parties with very fringe views about public health, often peddling conspiracy theories and sometimes indulging in violent rhetoric. If you’ve been paying close attention to far-right cookers then you will recognise names. I was surprised to find Gilbert Wilson, Labor candidate in the Division of Wannon (RDA has targeted Daniel Andrews with extreme vitriol!), although he just spruiks the Labor party platform. Likewise, I was not expecting a Fusion Party candidate to crop up on such an anti-science site, but their candidate for the Division of Dobell, Geoff Barnes, is there. He too largely spruiks his party’s policies but his opening about how “obfuscation, misinformation and hidden agendas masquerade as news” will no doubt appeal to the more conspiracist types at RDA.
To have a profile a candidate has to respond to a questionnaire, which asks whether they will support permanent(!) removal of all pandemic powers, restrict the WHO’s influence, and investigate and repeal/replace the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation the Agency and Australian Medical Association. The questionnaire asks after a Bill of Rights and digital privacy, which aligns with the goals of more reasonable groups but you can safely surmise some of these candidates don’t support this for the finest reasons, and there is also a protectionist “revive Australian manufacturing” question.
The following independents feature on Reignite Democracy Australia’s Candidate Search. The extent to which they sympathise with the RDA’s dangerous agenda varies—Joanne Pearce in Lyne seems particularly confused by some of the questions and I’m not sure why she went ahead with submitting this. But being on here is concerning enough and most spout some pretty extreme or unhinged stuff. In brackets is the electorate for House of Representatives candidates:
NSW:
Senate: Julie Collins (ungrouped independent); William Laing (ungrouped independent) [links go to b_auspol’s NSW Senate profiles]
House of Representatives: Greg Butler (Eden-Monaro); Nina Digiglio (Gilmore); Stuart Bonds (Hunter); Joanne Pearce (Lyne); Matthew Sharpham (New England); Basil Paynter (Shortland)
QLD:
Senate: Len Harris and Debra Yuille (Group A), Steve Dickson and Rebecca Lloyd (Group H), Peter Rogers (ungrouped independent)
House of Australia: Alan Buchbach (Dickson), Thor Prohaska (Dickson), Sinim Australie (Fairfax), Barry Smith (Fairfax), Kelli Jacobi (Wide Bay)
SA:
Senate: Bob Day (Group E)
House of Representatives: Maddy Fry (Barker),* Vince Pannell (Barker)*
TAS:
Senate: Fenella Edwards (ungrouped independent)
VIC:
Senate: Monica Smit and Morgan Jonas (Group R)
House of Representatives: Steven J. Lončar (Gorton). Domonique Murphy (Chisholm),* Scott Robson (Melbourne)
WA:
Senate: Ziggi Marley (ungrouped independent),** Yunous Vagh (ungrouped independent)**
House of Representatives: David Archibald (Curtin)
*these candidates are affiliated with the unregistered party Australia One, who I have reviewed here
**these candidates feature in my review of WA ungrouped independents
My recommendation: In the Senate, give Group R (Victoria) and other independents sympathetic to Reignite Democracy a weak or no preference. In the House of Representatives, where you must distribute full preferences, give independents sympathetic to Reignite Democracy Australia a weak preference.

Here is how to choose the best UAE immigration lawyer in London
Every business that conducts overseas commerce must be concerned with immigration issues. Non-compliance and mistakes in the immigration procedure can be very costly, resulting in fines and harm to a company's productivity and reputation. Employers and HR teams must take into account immigration strategy and procedure for every organisation operating on a worldwide scale and across continents. It is strongly advised to acquire excellent immigration guidance from seasoned experts if you work for a firm that hires foreign workers or are thinking about doing so. Consult Hudson McKenzie's London immigration attorneys for thorough and educational assistance on immigration.
He can assist you in comprehending the nature of the benefit you desire. For instance, you can discover that the advantage you're after has unstated risks. After your UAE immigration lawyer in London outlines the advantages and disadvantages of various immigration benefits for you, you might even decide to attempt a different course of action.
He can examine the specifics of your situation to identify dangers and problems that you might have overlooked. For instance, you can unknowingly be in danger of being labelled a "public charge."
He can come up with plans to lessen hazards you might encounter, including having to go home while your application is being considered.
He can assist you in making important judgments by giving you pertinent legal counsel. For instance, should you sponsor your spouse for a fiancé visa, be married in the US, then have your spouse apply for permanent residence in the US or should you get married abroad and wait for your spouse to be granted a US visa? These kinds of choices include a variety of risks, so you must be careful.
Find a reputable translation service to translate your birth certificate, for example, and gather the necessary documentation and present it in a way that will likely be accepted by the authorities.
Help you properly respond to requests for more information and documentation known as Requests for Evidence that you might get after submitting your application. If you don't respond in a suitable manner and on time, you risk ruining your chances of obtaining the advantage you want.
to aid in your preparation for the visa interview. This may require extensive preparation to ensure that you do not become agitated during the interview and respond in a way that generates unwarranted suspicions. You can have a better understanding of what to anticipate from your UAE immigration lawyer in London.
There are a thousand additional potential services, too many to list here.
Hourly rates - Most immigration lawyers bill their clients between $100 and $700 per hour. When an attorney represents a client in immigration law court procedures, such as removal proceedings, hourly fees are most frequently used. This is because when customers have to deal with court procedures, the overall cost in terms of the attorney's time is most unexpected.
Flat fee: For a variety of services, many immigration lawyers charge a set amount. When the benefit is clear and the amount of time needed is somewhat predictable, an attorney is more likely to propose a flat charge. For specific visa application types, such as family-based visa applications, the attorney may impose a fixed fee ranging from $2,000 to $10,000.
