#OtD 1 Mar 1947 police on the Korean island of Jeju opened fire on left-wingers on a pro-independence demonstration, killing six. In protest, public sector workers on the island launched a general strike, which had never occurred before in Korea stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/7710...

There is no evidence migrants “drive down wages”.
Wage suppression comes from weak labour protections and anti-union laws not migration.

In the BFAWU, equality isn’t an add-on it’s the heart of what we do.
Get active in your union’s women’s, equality, and young members’ networks.
Let’s build leadership that looks like all of us.

Palestinians did not “start” this conflict in October 2023.
The occupation of Palestinian land has lasted over 56 years, recognised as illegal under international law long before recent events.
To all our BFAWU members, their families and our friends across the movement and beyond, may this Ramadan bring you spiritual fulfilment, compassion and joy..
