The #UK has seen an “explosion” in insecure, low-paid #work in the past 14 years, according to a new report.

The #TUC said its study had found that the number of people in insecure work had reached a record high of 4.1 million

Analysis of official statistics shows number of people in precarious #employment – such as #ZeroHours contracts, low-paid self-employment & casual or seasonal work – increased ~1 million between 2011 & 2023

Yes, prime minister, it’s a scandal so many of us are signed off work

Maybe #Tories should stop making us ill

The numbers signed off work have surged in last 14 years because #Conservative governments us catastrophically unwell

The #UK does not have a #sicknote problem. It has a government-couldn’t-care-less problem

#Sunak to cite Britain’s ‘sicknote culture’ in bid to overhaul fit note system

In a speech on how to reduce people being signed off sick from work, the prime minister will say the government is planning to trial getting “work and health professionals” to issue fit notes, shifting away from GPs carrying out this role.

Daylight robbery: 2 in 5 UK teachers work 26 hours for free each week, combined 5.5m hr/yr

Shameful evidence #Tory government relying on #slave labour

Teachers are losing out on average by £15,000/yr

Teachers are seeing their workloads piled higher and higher, and with cuts to support staff and cuts to other children’s services, teachers are now working around the clock.

California Supreme Court has ruled: If you catch Covid from work and then a family member dies from it, you can’t sue your employer.

They said too many employers have disregarded safety protocols.

Too many companies broke the law.

Too many people didn’t do the right thing.

Apparently, expecting them to do the right thing posed an unreasonable burden on them

Graphic of text: How You Do Anything is How You Do Everything The California Supreme Court has ruled: If you catch Covid from work and then a family member dies from it, you can’t sue your employer. The ruling was unanimous. Their reasoning might make your jaw drop. Firstly: They said too many employers have disregarded safety protocols. Too many companies broke the law. Too many people didn’t do the right thing. Apparently, expecting them to do the right thing posed an unreasonable burden on them. Second, they argued that enforcing the law would cause too much disruption of commerce and public services. According to the judges, if everyone was held accountable for doing the right thing, it would slow everything down too much and pose too much inconvenience. So they’ve decided to hold nobody accountable, even when they clearly get people killed. https://jessicawildfire.substack.com/p/how-you-do-anything-is-how-you-do?utm_source=post-email-title

In a world that glamorises stress, ‘burnout’ is a badge of honour. But there is a cure

Pretending wellness is a matter of personal choice is a convenient way for society to uphold systems of oppression

Legislation proposed by the Tory govt will override a workers’ right to withdraw their labour, forcing them to work against their will.

Right to strike is a fundamental democratic right
