UK Strikes 2022-2023

Not sure this quite fits here, but given the Royal Mail connection…

Have we noticed that Royal Mail has stopped taking or sending any international mail due to a “cyber incident”? It’s been about a week I think and it’s fucking my vinyl business up.

We really have made ourselves a third world country, haven’t we?

Its hard enough shipping stuff abroad!

GENERAL STRIKE?

Public sector strikes row escalates as unions plan coordinated ‘day of action’

Unions react furiously to proposed legislation for Wales, England and Scotland they say will allow ministers to ban strikes

I do hope so.

These women in the interview are exactly right. Teachers are directly having to hold up the result of 12 years of austerity measures that have impacted communities.

Everyday I cannot believe how bad things have gotten.

And another one:

Train drivers to go on strike in February

Walkouts are planned for 1 and 3 February after the Aslef union calls a pay offer "clearly unacceptable".

We've had the exact same thing last year in our post office, refusing to take and send any international mail cause of a cyber incident, it took almost a month to sort it out and they never gave a clear explanation about what exactly happened.

I read that as per pencil. And then I wondered WHICH PENCILS? There are barely any.

The school I'm at mostly, isn't especially terrible, but is lucky enough have two specialist councillors on the staff. I just know they'll be first to go when the £130k cuts are put in place, which is a tragedy.

One of my best friends is a school counsellor and play therapist. She's sitting herself.

£280 for us, and I really have no idea what we have left to cut we don't even have a full-time person in the office anymore, the head does it two days a week!

It's time for teachers to get creative. This is a business. Make parents' evening into a ticketed meet and greet, offer the playground off to property developers, sell some kids, idk.
