We are hearing harrowing stories of architectural workers still being asked to come to work after very serious suspected cases of COVID-19 in their offices. As workers we can collectively refuse these conditions and demand our health and safety is put above company profits! ✊

In these volatile times we need to organise both in our workplaces AND in our communities!
We need to be ready to fight collectively – join a renters union NOW!✊

"The initiative deserves to gather momentum. For too long, architects have accepted their fate as inevitable; the low pay, long hours and lack of agency.... it’s about time architects came together and recognised the collective value of their labour." theguardian.com/artanddesign…

Croydon - almost a week after the ballot opened
The Trade Union act is a vicious attempt to undermine the rights of workers and unions

To further read @zb_naqvi's piece: theguardian.com/education/20…
@UnisNotBorders believes that we should fight for #FreeEducation for both Home *and* int' students. Any efforts to decolonise university must be rooted in ending the #HostileEnvironment & border controls on campus.
Architectural Workers retweeted
Good piece in today's @GdnUniversities written by @zb_naqvi illustrating institutional racist barriers re int' students in UK higher education. @UnisNotBorders FAQ section discusses how colonialism & marketised education creates barriers for int' students: unisresistbordercontrols.org…

Shahbana Bibi, Marian Court resident, tells #Justice4HackneyResidents how @hackneycouncil has pushed her to move her family into unsafe accommodation and then used her concerns to discharge their housing duty to her and tell her she is making herself "intentionally homeless"!
Architectural Workers retweeted
🚨 Tomorrow 6pm @ Hackney Town Hall, with @eeSistersUncut 🚨
If @hackneycouncil wants to knock Down Marian Court, it should give the families that live there with alternative homes in which they can flourish, not bully them for speaking out.

LONG THREAD:
@Conservatives have now reversed a policy they instituted in 2012, during the first wave of the #HostileEnvironment when they scrapped the post-study work visa. This allowed non-EU university graduates 2 yrs to live & work in the UK.

We completely agree & situate this recent decision as little more than neo-colonial immigration policy in motion where the @Conservatives are now playing non-EU migrants off of EU migrants to ensure 'Global Britain' post-Brexit functions. Read here:
