It's Day 2 at the #STUCblackworkers25
I've moved the @eisunion.bsky.social motion to protect the right to leave for religious observance. Without key policy in this area, what we see is indirect discrimination by managers who lack in racial & cultural literacy and competence

A fusion of Bollywood & Scots music was the most pleasant surprise I wasn't expecting at the #STUCblackworkers25 conf dinner last night. Provided by colleagues of the Musicians Union, it was so so lovely. Best dinner I've had a conference ever ๐๐ถ
