Anas al-Sharif among five Al Jazeera staff killed by Israel in Gaza Al Jazeera staff killed in targeted Israeli attack on a tent housing journalists near al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza City.

The first time Israel bombed a hospital in Gaza, it blamed the Palestinians. Then Israel bombed and invaded them all. It became policy.

Israel has killed 230 journalists in Gaza. Now, in murdering five more from Al-Jazeera, it openly says it's policy.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.Β 
Β 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Β 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

No more tick-box training.

No more policies that sit in a drawer.

We want action.

We want safety.

Employer Responsibility = HSE Responsibility
Employers are legally required to keep workers safe.
🚨 But if @H_S_E doesn’t classify sexual harassment as a workplace hazard, how can workers be protected?
πŸ“’ HSE must step up! Demand real action: workerspolicyproject.org/endnotdefend/

What would real protection look like?

HSE classifying sexual harassment as a workplace hazard

Mandatory employer action plans
Consequences for employers who fail to protect workers

A culture where harassment is NOT tolerated

We can make this happen.

Aamaya, 21, reported sexual harassment. Her manager said:

β€œI just basically won’t look into it.”

She faced it alone. No action. No safety. No justice.

#EndNotDefend means changing thatβ€”for good.

β€œWear the outfit or leave.”

Hannah was harassed by customers and ignored by management.

Harassment was baked into the business model.

Olivia spoke up about harassment.
She lost her hours. The harasser stayed.

This is what retaliation looks like.

Workplace abuse isn’t Just part of the job. With ILO C190 ratified, we must ensure real protections. The HSE must step up to enforce anti-harassment rules. Safe workplaces aren’t optionalβ€”they’re a right!

Supporting workers' rights does not justify cutting benefits. We refuse to engage in that. Working class communities includes both those in work and those who are not. No cuts to #disabilitybenefits We oppose the politics of division. We stand united we stand strong.

"We want to make people feel powerful" The political education programme teaching unionists about the history of workers' struggle - and how they can become part of it.

"We want them to come away with this idea that the working class is one of the two most powerful players in the world, and that they are part of that.”

I spoke to the organisers of a new political education programme designed to build worker power.

The UK has access to some of the cheapest renewable energy in Europe, yet citizens are being forced to pay extortionate prices while energy companies rake in record profits. Why are politicians complicit with energy company's to deny us this knowledge to maintain high prices.

Instead of blaming the unemployed, migrants, or disabled people, we should ask. Why do people go hungry in one of the richest countries on the planet? Why are workers using food banks? Poverty is not a personal failure, it's a political choice. #RiseUp

Instead of tackling poverty, the political elite use it as a weapon. They pit working people against each other encouraging us to blame migrants, the sick, disabled people, the unemployed to justify cutting support and funneling money to the rich. We need real political change.

Real change relies on a strong trade union movement. For years, the ruling class has tried to weaken our unity through anti-union laws and privatisation. The result? Stagnant wages, insecure jobs, and declining working conditions. #RiseUp

It is time to move beyond mere resistance and start building a future where our class do not just demand better conditions but take control of our own economic and political destinies.
