forkboy84 posted:Considering a general strike is illegal & nothing about the TUC leadership even hints at a willingness to challenge Thatcher's anti-worker legislation, anyone assuming a general strike is optimistic to a fault. I mean, a lot of things that would have to be done would be illegal. It's not this one weird trick that stops strikes. Propaganda has really done a number on this country. Even if we were in a position to really improve things a whole bunch of people who should support us would turn away from us because apparently this would have to be done completely legally and without anybody getting hurt.

People would die from a general strike. People die from a lot of things. They're dying from the status quo.

You don't have to convince me that. I've no problem with breaking explicitly anti-worker laws but I don't think the TUC are quite that blazé

Ukrainian parliament did approve the law on July 19, and it got signed by Zelenskyy on August 17. The law targets SMBs (<251 headcount), rather than everyone, and only the employees of thereof with salary more than 8 times larger than the legal minimum wage. While SMBs are the majority employer, I haven’t seen the stats that would account for the salary threshold. cinci zoo sniper posted:..... Candidate member states are under an obligation to implement the acquis communautaire significantly in advance of joining the EU, since besides adoption and implementation, in legal sense, enforcement of thereof is evaluated as well. Consequently, under assumption of continued course towards becoming an EU member state, Ukraine will need to have all EU laws fully operational years before they can formally become a member state.

Is it that disappointing to campaign for a minimum wage nearly 60% higher than the current one? Immediately increasing the minimum wage to £15/hr and then implementing Labour’s (shockingly good) policy of linking it to inflation would be categorically cool and good.

Immediately increasing the minimum wage to £15/hr and then implementing Labour’s (shockingly good) policy of linking it to inflation would be categorically cool and good. the problem is that "launching a campaign" for something is the equivalent of one of those petitions on Parliament's website, it's never going to achieve anything they've said "we want £15" and the government are going to say "lol no" and that'll be the end of it

Pensioners, he means you. Get in the ditch. And dig it.
