I think all of us would agree: Every worker or employee should be safe at work, and protected from accident and harm. Workplaces should be safe.

Let’s ask the President to sign the OSH Bill into law. #SafeWorkplacesNow

According to a PSA survey on workplace safety, the number of workers who sustained occupational injuries rose from 49,118 in 2013 to 50,961 in 2015.

Injuries range from minor ones like bruises or cuts to major ones like losing a finger or a limb — and death.

#SafeWorkplacesNow
Workers say injuries are often not reported or not recorded: Bawal magreklamo o magleave kahit naaksidente na. And labor-contracting agencies aim for a “zero accidents” record to get a bonus.

When I worked in an agency, it was usual to hear folks to say they’re sick and tired of the daily grind. And that they look for something new to do, something less about self and more about others.
And so they ask or look around for non-profits and advocacy groups to volunteer for. Others form new ones together with their best buds. Amazing acts of kindness and civic duties. Some go to cancer wards. Others go to indigenous peoples.
There was also a time when entire offices were engrossed with relief operations, post-disaster. Complete with marketing 360 efforts to drum up public interest.

Starting October 1, I will compile names and workplaces of those who verbally threaten me or use hate speech against me. I will write their employers, complete with screencaps of their threats, irresponsible and abusive statements.
Depending on the situation, I will inquire with my lawyers if civil or criminal suits could be filed, and demand moral and actual damages.
It might be difficult, but we have to start sometime and somewhere to demand and win accountability. I have thought about this and my previous attempts to fight fire with fire. I figured accountability is our strongest argument vs. threats and hate.

Ang mga wika ay nagbabago at napapaunlad. Binabago at pinapaunlad ito ng mga gumagamit ng wika para makasabay sa panahon at pangangailangan. Maski Ingles — anumang tipo ng Ingles — ay binago at pinaunlad. Humihiram ito ng mga salita. Hindi ito puro.
Yung pananaw na ang mga wikang Filipino ay inferior sa Ingles at iba pang dayuhang wika ay di naman talaga tungkol sa kahinaan ng mga wika natin. Mas tungkol ito sa kolonyal na mentalidad ng mga nagsasabi nun. Mulat nilang binabasura ang mga wikang Filipino.
Maraming bansa sa mundo ang nagtanghal at nagpaunlad ng sarili nilang wika. Yun ang naging wika nila sa pag-unlad. Sa Pilipinas, halos dantaon na ang chismis tungkol sa Ingles bilang wika ng pag-unlad. Pero mas panghati at pagbukod ito ng mga tao, at ginagawang sukatang sosyal.

I want to alert the nation that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, @officialEFCC and the @PoliceNG leadership have entered into a secret path with the All Progressives Congress, APC, to cripple PDP controlled states and ensure they lose focus on the in-coming elections
The move which is aimed at causing severe and disabling damage to these states is part of the grand design to distract the @OfficialPDPNig from its focused journey to reclaim power and rescue this country from the inept rule of the @OfficialAPCNg.
We are privy to a credible intelligence showing that the ruling party has mapped out a strategy to ensure that @OfficialPDPNig controlled states are adequately inconvenienced and frustrated enough not to have concentration to tackle their re-election.

#Law #DomesticViolence
Indian law protects women from all kinds of domestic abuse. To know more about the provisions of Protection of Women Against Domestic Violence Act, 2005 read our explainer: bit.ly/2CMVlfS
PWDV Act, 2005, gives a broad definition of what qualifies as ‘domestic abuse’. It includes physical, sexual, verbal, emotional and economic abuse. Section 3 reads:
The Act provides for a ‘Protection Officer’ to help you through various processes under the law. This Officer can help you file the complaint, tell you about your rights, make an application to the Magistrate for you, etc.

#President @realDonaldTrump's words, whether you accept his apology and his explanation, do not comport with his actions and his foreign policy toward #Russia. He has been one of the hardest presidents on Russia in recent memory.

#Trump #IntelligenceCommunity #Collusion
Where was the outrage when @BarackObama told Medvedev to inform #Putin "After my election I have more flexibility,"? I think much of the outrage being expressed- especially by #Republicans- is politically motivated.

#Trump #IntelligenceCommunity #Collusion #Russia
However, what @realDonaldTrump said was not right. It DID undermine our #IntelligenceCommunity, and it was a mistake. He has since corrected it and walked it back.

Sure but successful at what.
My instinctive reaction was 'she's lying.' More disturbing is the likelihood she's accurately reflecting her party's metrics for success.
Vulnerable people across the spectrum are now more vulnerable. The corrupt have had the path to corruption eased.
