- On 18th June trade unionists gathered from across the UK for the ‘We Demand Better’ march and rally in central London. Among the speakers was Mick Lynch, leader of the RMT rail workers who went on strike this week.
Opinion polls have shown a good deal of public support for the RMT union despite much disinformation from government and corporate media.
After three years without pay rises, and with inflation rising fast, rail workers (not train drivers) are being asked to accept real-term cuts, along with onerous new terms. The only “modernisation” on offer is the modernisation of worker exploitation.
Employers are looking for 2500 redundancies, an increase in the number of nights and weekends worked, along with a cut in the bonus for working those unsociable hours, and they are looking to use ‘fire and rehire’ tactics with associated pay cuts of up to £9000 p.a.
In a climate emergency the government should be looking at providing better and cheaper public transport, not cutting staff and maximising private profit under the guise of modernisation.
Real Media reported last week on the new coalition beginning to form, connecting climate change to workers’ rights, inequality, and just transition. The rail strike could yet turn out to be a pivotal moment in that change.
A brilliant speech! 👏
Right on . I'm in unite ,we're right behind you .
Last bastion of hope for this country. What a beautiful geezer!
@Jay Dee he's done more in 2 months than Keir has in 2 years. Labour is a dead duck for the working class. They are too busy playing the personality contest. Time for straight talking working class representation. Long live the RMT.
@Jay Dee i’d definitely vote for him
Solidarity guys
He never disappoints. We must fight this bullshit tooth and nail.
Build your own company under his values
@@dafyddcoleman4413 Easier said than done.

Solidarity. Justice. Love. Rage.
✊
I’ve never seen such a brilliant man gain mainstream attention in my lifetime in our country, with him by our side I feel truly hopeful that the struggles of the working people of Britain will prevail
✊🇬🇧🚩
Just look at the size of that crowd!
LUV YOU MICK ,
My God what a force for action......outstanding.

This man is a god send.
hE SO IS
Sir Keir should be out there with Mick Lynch, showing support and solidarity with working class people
You wish, Corbyn would have been at the front defending working class yet he and others were pushed aside. Remember the witch-hunt? You need to watch the al Jazeera documentary the takedown, Israeli influence in British politics.
Corbyn would be with them
Hes too busy playing both sides.
KIER IS A DISGRACE TO LABOUR

👏👏👏👏👏 🙏
In the recent past the mainstream media used to talk of "fears" of strikes or strikes "averted" as if a strike was bad thing. Strikes in many cases show the public that the workers are awake and not compliant slaves willing to take anything thrown at them. The more active workers in any economy will command the highest pay-rates. This stuff needs to be taught at schools but is often glossed over and ignored. Each generation then have to learn the bitter lessons of their parents and grandparents, sometimes you have to fight for your rights and pay-rates and not be the nice guy all the time.
In Ireland much store is placed in international competiveness and avoiding too much power being vested in unions. Most FDI companies are without unions. Public servants and workers however have high union involvement even the police and army. Guess who have the better pay rates and conditions????Some 40% higher and also life-time employment in the public sector is not unusual.
The FDI sector would be lucky to get 10 years out of any job, many skip around employments to earn more money. Most have plan B and continuous adult education at their own expense to stay ahead of the game.
Once I had an employment assessment which I showed to my late father. It was very fulsome in its praise but my father noted the rather low payrise which came along with the appraisal. I was asked to find out what the other workers got but I could not find this out. When my father heard of this he replied" Praise is OK but it will not pay the bills". Years later I found out that several former colleagues were paid somewhat more by always being prepared to walk away and keeping their personal relationships with management at arms length. Sensibly most companies have rules about HR people becoming too friendly with regular workers. They know it doesn't work out in the running of a company.
I am nearly retired now but if I had my life to live all over again I would do my best to secure a unionised job in preference to a non-unionised one.
The rich need the poor to stay rich......The poor do not need the rich to stay poor.
No war but the Class War.
🥰
Way he walks off is so cold 🤣🤣
Get up and fight or, live on your knees.
Labour are the same as the tories...just have a different name.
since the conservative branch gaining power with blair it has pretty much become that ye
Spot on
woohoo
UNALIENABLE RIGHTS
Unalienable Rights are the Inherent, Sovereign, Natural Rights that existed before the creation of the State, and which, being antecedent to and above the State, can never be taken away, diminished, altered, or liened upon by the State, subject only to the Due Process of the Common Law. Nor can any Unalienable Right be fundamentally removed, whether mistakenly by contract through non-disclosure, which is fraud and unenforceable in Law, or knowingly by renunciation, which is contrary to Natural Law. The Original, Permanent, Unalienable Rights of every Man or Woman, include:
The Right to Life, Freedom, Health, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
The Right to Contract, or Not to Contract, is Unlimited.
The Right to Earn a Living by being Compensated with Wages, a Salary, or any Trade Goods, in Fair Exchange for one's Work
The Right to Travel in the Ordinary Course of one's Life and Business.
The Right to Privacy and Confidentiality, free from Unwarranted Invasion.
The Right to Control, and Hold one's Property, Lawfully without Trespass.
The Right to Self - Defence when threatened with Harm, Loss, or Deceit.
The Right to Due Process of Law, with Notice and Opportunity to Defend.
The Right to be Presumed Innocent, suffering No Detention or Arrest, No Search or Seizure, without Reasonable Cause.
The Right to Remain Silent when accused, to avoid Self-Discrimination.
The Right to Equality in the Eyes of the Law, and to Equal Representation.
The Right to Trial by Jury, being an Impartial Panel of One's Peers.
The Right to Appeal in Law against Conviction or Sentence, or both.
The Right to Expose Knowledge necessary to one's Rights and Freedoms.
The Right to Peaceful Association, Assembly, Expression, and Protest.
The Right to Practice a Religion, and to have Beliefs, of one's Choosing
The Right to Love, and to Consensual Marriage, with Children, as a Family.
The Right to Security, from Abuse, Persecution, Tyranny, and War.
The Right to Refuse, to Kill, under command, by Reason of Conscience.
The Right to Live, in Peace, and be left alone when Law Abiding.
Surely, the most Critical Failure of the People is their failure to ensure the Teaching and Common Knowledge of their Unalienable Rights.
If you do not know your Rights, you effectively have none. By the Path of Ignorance, whether by Apathy or Deception. The People arrive in a State of Exploitation, Oppression, and Tyranny.
