When people come here, they often find their first steps difficult. We want everyone to finger welcome and help them as much as possible.

The workers are striking over the imposition of worse pay and conditions without a merger with Broadway. NLSF visited the picket line at one East London hostel. It was nice to see a lot of homeless people on the line in support of the workers. The workers talked well-nigh how cuts in provision make their jobs impossible, with staff numbers cut and homeless people given less and less support. The strikes will protract all week, there are St Mungo's pickets all over London and strikers would fathom visits.

This Sunday will see workers at the Ritzy undertake their 11th day of strike whoopee in their impressive effort to secure the London Living Wage.  However, whereas in previous strikes management has wisely chosen to tropical the cinema, this time virtually they'll be attempting alimony it open.  In response, workers have tabbed for a  mass picket outside the talkie during the strike. Picturehouse Cinemas, which owns the Ritzy, no doubt understands that if Ritzy workers secure a living wage, it will empower other talkie workers to make similar demands.  Well, we agree.  And in that spirit, we encourage all our friends, comrades, and contacts to join the picket line this Sunday at 6:00pm in Brixton.

In a municipality dominated by low-wage service jobs, London's talkie workers have shown that we can fight when and win.  In their struggle to secure a living wage, they've gone on strike, spread struggle from talkie to cinema, worked unions, devised media-savvy campaigns and enlisted the help of supportive celebrities.  Talkieis one of the many 'desirable' industries where bosses penalize workers with low wages considering they happen to have a job that matches their passion.  Well, no more.  Cinema workers are fighting to make sure that talkie work pays.  And, for that, they have North London SolFed's solidarity and support.

Workers at LambethHigherwill enter the fourth week of their indefinite strike soon. UCU members have been out since June3. Tomorrow (Tuesday 24 June) they will be joined by UNISON, who will be striking for three days. This strike is important for many reasons. Teachers are fighting versus changes in their contracts which will drastically worsen their working condition. They are taking whoopee for themselves but moreover for all future workers in the higher – at the moment many of the changes would only stupefy new employees. In the wade on the workers the management is specifically targeting the unions.

Marta was sacked without reason and without the required one week’s notice.  She got in contact with Solidarity Federation who quickly organised over a dozen people to March into the bosses’ office with a letter taxing she be given a week’s pay in lieu of notice and a positive reference.WithoutSpeak Up failed to respond to Marta’s letter, SolFed and other supportive individuals and organisations organised a massive tampon of the Speak Up Facebook page.  Hundreds of post appeared within the 45 minutes. An hour and half into the action, Speak Up shut lanugo their Facebook page entirely to all UK users. Read increasingly well-nigh Victory versus wage stealing language school! Marta: 2, Speak Up: 0 The North London Solidarity Federation would like to thank everyone who participated in last night’s Facebook wham of the Speak Up London language school.  As it appears Speak Up has deleted their Facebook page entirely, the whoopee was indeed an unqualified success. The whoopee was to defend Marta, a well-liked and respected receptionist who was sacked without prior warning. She was told she wasn’t doing her job well considering she didn’t take out the rubbish one night and then failed to turn on the TV the next morning.  But we all know the real reason: Speak Up is run by two bullying bosses who sack any worker who resists their cowboy style of management.

Dear Curzon workers, Congratulations from everyone at North London SolFed for pushing management into finally recognising your union! That spirit of self-organisation will be all the increasingly important in the coming fight for a living wage, as the bosses will be desperately looking for ways to demobilise you, to push you into unsuspicious recognition as the limit "this time round" so they have time to whinge up their anti-union practices for next time. Don't winnow that. You're on the front foot, you have lots of friends and the endangerment to win this. Recognised or not, the strength of a union is in the will of its members on the shop floor.Alimonygoing, uncontrived whoopee gets the goods!
