Free speech is a right, not a privilege. When Rumeysa was detained for using her voice, it became an issue that impacts all of us. This is bigger than one case—it’s about defending our right to organize, speak out, and live without fear. #4The1st seiu.co/3G2YsCX

🚨 Global unions unite! Labour movement's highest international body condemns Trump & his gang of billionaire's attacks on US public workers. When they target unions and workers, we don't back down - we get stronger! 💪 #UnionStrong #PublicServices

☕ Does your neighbour drink 23 billion espressos a year? 🚨Starbucks reports all its global coffee bean sales via a small Swiss address. It's a paperwork scheme, pilling up profits here where taxes are low. We join @cictar.bsky.social @publiceye.ch & @alliancesud.ch to expose Starbucks Swiss Scheme

Swiss media taking notice of our Starbucks revelations, thanks to our friends at @psiglobalunion.bsky.social @publiceye.ch @alliancesud.ch and IUF! cictar.org/news/rts/sta...

Starbucks is using paperwork tricks to buy and sell its coffee beans through this small subsidiary here in low-tax Switzerland, as revealed by @cictar.bsky.social

Get ready to fight. We’re not going anywhere.

La CSQ est pour la #laïcité dans les écoles. Mais le projet de loi présenté adj soulève des questions, notamment en lien avec la pénurie de personnel de soutien scolaire et de professionnels et l'évaluation des enseignants. #polqc Ce n'est pas le reflet de ce qui se passe dans l’ensemble du Québec.

Merci @unison.org.uk pour votre accueil de la réunion #LGTB+ Ensemble avec @epsu.bsky.social et @psiglobalunion.bsky.social et tous nos membres nous poursuivrons notre combat pour tous les travailleurs.

Why are billionaires so unhappy?

Aujourd’hui le gouvernement considère que pour taxer les « riches » cela doit être ceux qui ont plus de 100 millions et pour faire contribuer les retraités @elombard cible ceux qui ont des pensions de +2500€. Vous avez dit ministre de gauche ? A la gauche de quelle droite ultra libérale plutôt !!!

The extreme hoarding of wealth is sociopathic. Example below. It amazes me that people can argue the toss that hospital cleaners shouldn’t get sick pay from day one, and argue just as vehemently that the super rich shouldn’t be asked to pay their fair share of tax.

Would you like tax dodging with your pumpkin chai latte? New @cictar.bsky.social report exposes Starbucks' Swiss Scheme, shifting billions via a Swiss subsidiary company as workers from @seiu.org & other unions around world demand fairer wages! 👀 ➡️ publicservices.international/resources/pu...

Health workers from @nzpsa.bsky.social speak out: health cuts are hurting staff and patients. Time for governments everywhere to revalue health workers and refund public healthcare! Read all about it: publicservices.international/resources/ne... @fleurfitzsimons.bsky.social

🚨 Minimum Wage Directive is under threat - @etuc-ces.bsky.social launches counter opinion in response to the opinion presented at the European Court of Justice. Trade unions are mobilising to defend the #MinimumWage Directive. Click here to read the counter opinion👇🏾 www.epsu.org/article/etuc...

Proving that the good looks of public servants are truly timeless ❤️

This is the story of the first major strike against Nazi occupation: #Februaristaking! 🧵Read the thread! ✊🏾 84 years ago, workers in the Netherlands went on strike against Nazi occupation. Let's take a moment to remember the #FebruaryStrike ahead of @fnv.bsky.social's commemoration👇🏾

Calling political economists: more models like this please.

I send solidarity from @forsatradeunion.bsky.social to @social.verdi.de, our sister union in Germany - Verdi, whose members were attacked at a child care workers demonstration today in Munich. Shocking and senseless. @epsu.bsky.social @psiglobalunion.bsky.social

💜 #WorldSocialJusticeDay Public service workers are the backbone of caring cities & must be included in care-based plans. As unions, we reject social injustice & trust collective bargaining to build resilient services & strengthen new essentials. Daria Cibrario @psiglobalunion.bsky.social

£8k a year! That is what @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social is taking from 150 refuse workers. No wonder they're striking 🤯 📣 Please send a message of support to the Birmingham bin workers and their families 👉 actionnetwork.org/forms/send-a...

LGBTQIA+ rights are workers’ rights! Proud & important day as we held our 1st LGBTQIA+ network meeting. “Our community is publicly under attack as we speak. Today was a much-needed reminder that our strength has always come from each other.” - Rob Patridge More info: www.forsa.ie/lgbtqia-netw...

We’re suing to stop and reverse mass firings of federal workers. The illegal firings threaten everything from food safety to national security to health care. www.afscme.org/blog/afscme-...

States are sounding the alarm! A bipartisan coalition of leaders is demanding Congress stop reckless Medicaid cuts that would gut healthcare for 80 million Americans and strain communities. No family, no zip code is safe. Congress: Protect Medicaid, protect our families!
