'In Spring 2020, when a scab operator set up a company paying bottom-of-the-barrel rates in a crude attempt at undercutting the militant members of the MUA, the workers of Port Botany went feral.'

cool and normal that this guy is selling a range of nazi items at melbournes @VicMarket + that i emailed them about it over a week ago and haven’t had any reply @cityofmelbourne @sallycapp #vicmarket #antifakaren
since this @10NewsFirstMelb story, the @VicMarket say they "investigated the matter & have determined that the trader is acting within the market rules" & that they do not plan to do anything further to stop the sale of nazi memorabilia at the market🤮🤬
further efforts required
Fergus from the @VicMarket said that the trader hasn't breached the markets rules by selling nazi merchandise. lol might be time to update the rules then dickhead!?!??!

workplace poster for my mate who works at the Bureau of Meterology. sounds like a cooked place to work at the moment, which the bosses tried to band-aid by....... renaming the BOM as "The Bureau" recently, which addresses a total of zero of the issues there hahah
there’s a prototype break room operating for gig workers in Naarm. delivery riders are some of the most precarious & atomised workers in australia. plz spread the word to anyone working in these industries & encourage them to drop in to 391 Queen st 1-7pm today or tomorrow only !

This week will see workers in universities taking industrial action, protesting and organising against the myriad of issues in the sector - particularly fair pay, manageable workloads and action against casualisation. #ausunions
