literally do it, now, right now this exact second. yes you sitting there on your dashboard right now you get your phone out of your pocket or from your desk. get people from your work in a discord. get them in a group text. start talking about your grievances. start talking about the rumors of what the bosses won’t say. spread the information they won’t. get people riled up. contact your local relevant union and hook up. contact your local iww branch and get them on board. seek out the representatives of your district or your county and find the ones who support union activity. leverage them. use their connections. get the media on board. prepare to go to print on the conditions you’re suffering. cover your asses. do not let them retaliate. hit them again, and again, and again before they can recover from the previous hit. make them regret it. make them suffer for what they’ve done to us. stand tall and demand better. look them in the eye and tell them not one more. not one more death for the sake of profit.
this is not hyperbole. these people will kill you. you will go into work and be told that the quarter inch of plexi in front of the register (but never in front of where customers really stand) is going to protect you. that you’re fine. you’re low risk. you don’t need to stay home. it’s okay if there was a case in the store. it’s only one in ten. we need people to come in. you’ll be fine.
not one fucking more. draw a line in the sand here, now. you can do it. anyone can, and everyone has to. because no one is coming to save us. we are all we’ve got. protect each other, protect yourselves, and Fucking Organize.
On this day, 16 April 1999, the Military Action against Iraq (Parliamentary Approval) Bill, introduced by an anti-war member of parliament, was scheduled to have its second reading. The law would have meant that any military action taken by the UK against Iraq would have to be voted for by a majority of MPs, rather than launched unilaterally by the government.
But as the bill would affect the powers of the monarch, it required consent of the queen before it could be discussed in parliament. The queen, following advice from the Labour government, then refused to give consent for the bill to reach the floor, thus killing it.
Despite being nominally a parliamentary democracy, the UK royal family have extensive powers to veto new laws – something which the British government is clearly embarrassed about, considering how they vigorously fight freedom of information requests related to royal consent.
When the UK did eventually attack Iraq, however, the decision was made by a majority vote of parliament, despite a huge majority of the UK population opposing it. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1401987639986382/?type=3
