Freedom and Unions Chapter 1: Humanity and its Horrors Part III

Latest newsletter post. Australia’s definition of freedom of association has it all wrong and it impeded the cause of human freedom.

RSPCA is a more pet friendly version where workers have done this and unrelated to corporate exposure to the empire

I’ve been involved in bargains where workers vote up to ban compliance with social media policies. The social media crackdown then gives this more salience.

This uses the cowardice of management and capital and turns it into an advantage for workers.

Of course, this opens up a new form of protected industrial action where workers vote up a ban on compliance with social media policies and basically @ the dictatorship.

Australian workers are getting warnings from Australian-owned corporations for expressing opinions on US politics.

If you value the arts, creative writing and free artistic expression now is the time to subscribe to @overlandjournal.bsky.social people.

This is a political attack on the free expression of writers and artists.

It's not a 'clash' if it's neo-Nazis storming a group of people - it is an attack. Also, it's always ok to punch a Nazi. Hope that helps.

Elon’s ongoing breakdown is quite the case study in why the capitalists themselves need liberation from capitalism.

Introduction Part V Introducing the solidarity wedge

This is the last post for the Introduction where I outline the solidarity wedge itself which rests on organising at work, organising for ownership and political organising.

Whenever I hear any labour movement leader making it about themselves or any other single leader, I think of these words from The Internationale:

β€œNo saviour from on high delivers

No faith have we in prince or peer

Our own right hand the chains must shiver”

For the first time today, I broke workers up into small groups to talk about a company offer and how they are feeling at a mass meeting. It was a mass meeting where every worker got to have their say and connect with co-workers.

Personally all the first drafts for my newsletter are hand written. Can’t recommend the old school approach of hand writing first as a way to clarify thinking free of digital distraction.

Antarctica is in extreme peril New research catalogs several β€œabrupt changes,” like a precipitous loss of sea ice, unfolding in Antarctica with dire implications for us all.

Antarctica is in extreme peril.

"Abrupt changes" threaten to send the continent past the point of no return, a new study finds.

Melbourne turns out against genocide. People of the world are waking up as a genocide against one people is a genocide against humanity as a whole.

Australian Unions Are in Decline, and Labor Isn’t Helping The Australian union movement campaigned and donated millions of dollars to reelect Labor Party prime minister Anthony Albanese. The results have been less than inspiring.

Interesting contrast with similar kinds of debates that took place ~100 years ago.
