8/5 40 hour week
Immigrant workers in Prato, Italy have mounted a series of strike days this year against exploitative conditions like 14-hour workdays, union busting and dangerous machinery.
They've already won a 40-hour work week in 68 fashion workshops and warehouses:

I see trade unions as the cutting edge of the labour movement because workers hold the real power in the economic sphere; we create all the wealth that society depends on.
Through our organised strength in unions, we can directly challenge the capitalist system and the state, both of which exploit and oppress us. I believe in workers’ self-management and solidarity, and that by building strong, federated unions based on direct action like strikes and workplace control, we prepare ourselves not only to improve our immediate conditions but to ultimately abolish wage slavery, capitalism, and the state itself.
In other words, our unions are the foundation for a new society where workers truly run the economy and make decisions democratically, without bosses or politicians standing above us.
Bosses are always keen to “reduce the cost of labour”
#TikTok plans in #Germany follow a tried and tested method whereby tech giants outsource services to countries with lower wages and weaker labor protections. In #Kenya, for example, TikTok is already using the subcontractor #Teleperformance The hourly pay there? $2.30.

Victory in bogus self employment case!
Piercer who was let go with no employers tax paid, has won her case at the WRC, to be recognised as an employee and compensated as such.
Though she was nervous about her tax situation, this FW faced her fears and reached out to the union for help, support and advice.
"I just wanted my voice heard and it was worth the effort . Thank you!

Throughout history, working class people have stood up and fought back against oppression and #exploitation in the food system. Each month, #FoodFight documents a timeline of historical labor struggles to inform and educate today’s workers on historical class struggle in the food industry. We commemorate their struggles each day of the month.
Union faces = union power.
Strong enough for all of us.
When one is banned, all stand.
My face, my union, my fight.
Face it — we’re not going away.

Solidarity is unstoppable.
We rise when others try to silence us.
