We, the patients/students/families the Tripartite Govt is trying to "forced team" with, know the people striking are doing it because all these areas of employment are underpaid, understaffed, and largely ignored by Govt.
We don't believe you Ms Collins.

Huge thanks to everyone who joined the #NoKings rallies in Beaufort, Bluffton, and Hilton Head — neighbors, organizers, speakers, and everyone who showed up for democracy.

At the same time that the Luxon govt is finding as many new ways to make the #ClimateCrisis worse, it’s also telling New Zealanders it won’t help when their property is destroyed by climate change (unless you’re a farmer presumably). #nzpol

I think this is it. I'd seen this post but ignored it thinking I'd have to block all myself - no! Subscribing seems to block all.

oooh, good take. I was an asst. Mgr. in the 80's, had to be able to manage people; worked for a training institute in the 90's, EVERY SINGLE mgmt course we ran included effective communication, conflict resolution, team building/trust. How the hell did Cluckson get to the position of CEO?

Foxy @foxylustygrover.bsky.social · 15h

I was more aware of my attributes/faults as a 25 year old CSR deciding with my manager I wanted to be a team manager and the steps to take. Then a call centre manager before 30

If I turn my professional eye to Luxon what stands out is; lack of empathy, bad communicator & hasn't built trust #NZPol

Haven’t seen numbers yet, and folks were still marching when we peeled off, but #NoKings Seattle was pretty likely the biggest protest I’ve been in

A crowded plaza in Seattle center, people carrying protest signs and waving flags, with autumn colored trees and the Space Needle in the background

A crowd of protesters, some carrying a big multi-person banner reading WE STAND WITH IMMIGRANTS

Another view of the crowd at the Seattle Center, seen across the domed fountain as people start to march

The marchers walking down 5th Avenue, filling the street, as a monorail rolls by on the tracks overhead

The #NoKings protest in Dayton Ohio today drew thousands of area residents to Courtyard Square to peacefully demonstrate their opposition to this administration

1/?

Photo shows thousands of peaceful No Kings protesters on Saturday, October 18th; credit to our own Beavercreek Democratic Precinct Captain Steve Donaldson for this incredible shot of Dayton’s Courthouse Square.

No Kings was a wonderful peaceful gathering in support of core American values: preserving democracy, restoring the impartial rule of law, rebuilding our damaged international relations, funding American healthcare, rescinding illegal punitive federal import taxes, restraining political violence being instigated by ICE, and respecting innocent foreigners.

We can't stop here, though.

Many of your neighbors are working hard day after day to secure our democracy locally, but we NEED FAR MORE HELP! 🏳️‍

Let this event propel you to the next step - take regular action with an organized group. Like us! 😎

So let me get this straight

In preparation for this new attack on the unions

#JudithCollins asked for the unions to bring them some concerns that sat outside of pay and conditions

Then turned around and claimed that one of their responses (Palestine) was “their top priority”, not pay??

I saw multiple ick posts while blocking all those US Gov bsky accounts - the wording of this letter seems revoltingly familiar. 🤢 JuCo is just ewwwww. So is Cluxon (🐔), Sey-D (seedy), and the WiPe (🧻)
