🤯 You won't believe what this agency manager tells workers emptying bins in Birmingham!
😡 Is a @teamlabouruk.bsky.social council really saying they won't employ anyone who joins a picket line? Isn't that called blacklisting? Shouldn't Labour-run @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social be against that?

Solidarity with the BMA. The encouragement of scab behaviour by a Labour government tells us that there is no major Party for the working class.

And before anyone says Reform - Nigel Farage wanted to indenture junior doctors
