We had a fantastic day, as usual, at Manchester and Salford Anarchist Bookfair yesterday. Looking forward to our last stall of the year on the weekend of 28 - 30 November at Sheffield Transformed - www.facebook.com/sheftransfor... We'll be unveiling our newest poster specially for the event:

Should we bring back mr blockhead?

Our #union will never tolerate maternity #discrimination. That's why we were out in front of Escape Campus / Verbo Education in London to hold owner Raff Misceo to account. Bad #ELT bosses everywhere - but especially Raff - we're here to hold you to account!🪧🪧

While the starbucks union is putting pressure on the bosses, take note of their "christmas cups" promotion this year. The artificial scarcity, the social media frenzy, and then letting staff buy the stock first... It's like a perfectly-manufactured campaign to undermine solidarity w/ the union. 🧐

Okay this was actually so fun though , something about using a massive lever and shunt bits of metal around is sick af. Hope the FWs and comrades who were down today had a lovely time chatting with us about how we can take a bit of power back from the bosses 💪

come on down!!! free entry til 4pm! ❤️
