Dear all… if you're into #union issues and care about the #workingclass... or you're working for someone who says they do, then using AI to 'draft’ responses to common political questions is not the best idea!

📣 New Podcast! "13 January 1948: Cyprus miners strike" on @Spreaker #cyprus #history #workers

Yesterday I watched #TheTake , a documentary by #NaomiKlein and #AviLewis about the cooperative movement in Argentina, released in 2004.

In the beginning of the 21st century, workers across #Argentina took over control over factories, and began to run them by themselves.

Many of these cooperatives still exist.

This documentary can be a source of hope. We need it.

For a range of reasons the ability of under-18s to get work experience via part-time employment (Saturday jobs, evening shifts) has drastically fallen.

Labour market regulations make it more costly & less advantageous to employ them;

older workers are pitching for those shifts, more than in the past;

many firms use recruitment processes that don't really work for the young.

The tragedy is young people don't get the chance to sample work early on & build practical experience.
