unions

From Monday (tomorrow) up to and including Thursday unionised staff from the #UniversityOfAmsterdam are on #strike over the university's executive boards' unwillingness to cut (or even pause) ties with Israeli academic institutions.

For more information see https://fnv.nl/uva

Keep track of this thread for updates and details about the strike.

[Sweden] First poster board up! (sopuli.xyz)

cross-posted from: https://sopuli.xyz/post/19586210

Earlier this week I put up the union's first poster board at our production facility. With that the work that is starting to get a club up and running really kicks off. There are a lot of work to get done before we are there, but we will get there. First two things on the agenda is to send more members to the union's three-day orientation course and get local union rep into various meetings the employer has. We have a law called Medbestämmandelagen (co-determing law) that gives the workers' organisation large rights to insight into how the company is run.
