While teachers are striking and this government argues strikes cause more harm than a lack of funding, we have the Freedom of Speech Higher Education Bill back in parliament tomorrow 🧵1/10

Is that good faith legislation?

Something to help you assess the merit of the stories likely to appear in government friendly media over the next few days 2/10

Remember this excellent thread on the #FreeSpeechBill? Back in the Lords again on 7th February 🧵
I've spend quite a long time in a quandary about our slide in the country on human rights, while certain media obsess about free speech. Probably an example

theguardian.com/politics/2023/…
Hint: That is not quashing of the free speech of people who want content removed from curricula

I wrote a bit more about that here buymeacoffee.com/TrialByTruth/w…

On February 1st, thousands of workers are taking strike action against the Tories’ Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Bill, & against the destruction of education & health as well as for a wage that protects from the #CostOfLivingCrisis.

This is the first time since the 2011 N30 pensions strike that so many unions have taken action together.

In #Leicester, the March and rally appears to be taking the same form that it took in 2011. A march through the town centre, & a rally at the Athena Events Venue. I was at that march & rally, and filmed it.

1/5 The attack on the freedom of workers in the Anti-Strikes Bill is part of a longer-term project.

That project aims to take political and economic power away from the many so that it is held only by the few.

This is why the Government is really attacking trade unions.
2/5 This legislation puts beyond a shadow of a doubt whose side this Government is really on.

It's not the side of the public. Because this Government is taking away the public's democratic rights. #RightToStrike
3/5 It's workers, not the Govt, who are defending public services.

Workers fight for safe and accessible railways, a strong NHS, and an education system with good conditions for students & teachers.

This Govt sides with the practitioners of poverty pay and a race to the bottom.

@smartunionworks, you and your union members may think you're alone, but believe me, MANY eyes are on what you decide to do on December 13th.

Your pay, your benefits, your value, and your rights have been challenged, and we noticed.

We stand with you and your #RightToStrike
For those who are unaware, Congress and the White House are terrified of a rail union strike because it would cripple the US economy and cause transportation/logistics to break down.

Despite that, Union Pacific refused to grant additional paid time off for workers.
In response, The White House has made it illegal for rail workers to strike in the face of what it calls a national emergency.

The Union Pacific Railroad has the money & resources to grant these benefits but refuses to do so out of greed, not necessity.
