If Dutton gets in, the transfer of wealth from working class people to the rich will accelerate.
If an ALP minority government gets in, we can push em in the right direction. SO LONG as we have strong unions on the ground in our workplaces and strong community organisations.

Think for yourself, question authority and power. Understand the broader economic, political and social structures of that power (with all the contradictions, complexities and nuances).
Learn how to organise to challenge that power of the few to build power for the many.

Unions are briefly touched upon in the curriculum. However, I doubt the powers at be would want us to learn the lessons of the oast struggles and apply them today. It's like saying, "Know about Martin Luther King, but don't behave like him."

There has been a 'dealignment' of the working class due to the neoliberalism of the Democrats and the populism of the Republicans.

Unions have done it before and they can do it again.

@teachersfed.bsky.social members at SSC Balmain finally recieved a response from @jasonclaremp.bsky.social regarding SRS funding.
Still denying it, still allowing for further segregation in society and chipping away at a fundamental democratic institution (public education).
Will will fight & win

Solidarity with our comrades from the Rail, Tram & Bus Union.
Their fight is our fight, their win is our win.
An injury to one is an injury to all.
A win for a section of the working class is a win for the whole of the working class.
