Ciarán Gallagher, Chairperson of Unite’s ELT branch, describes the state of online teaching as schools “piling up to 25 students, sometimes more, into these virtual classrooms and letting teachers and students sink or swim.”

What about support for teachers? The word 'teacher' isn't mentioned in this link, why is that?

What help is UK ELT asking for?

Raising the minimum wage lowers child poverty, puts more money in workers' pockets, and doesn't kill jobs. We need $15 for EVERY worker.
Tell your Rep. to vote yes on the #RaiseTheWage Act: 866-426-2631

That's outrageous. Unfortunately the most successful way to push for this is through collective action. Can foreign workers join unions in Japan? Perhaps there is an education union that may help.

"Can't respond on a human level??" When exactly did politicians and the elite become more human than the rest of us??

A human response to Theresa May's resignation must include remembering those who are suffering because of Tory policies.

So much militancy amongst gig workers! And, importantly, forming links with other low paid workers.
While Deliveroo riders in London prepare to protest at Deliveroo's shady 'dark kitchens', LA Uber drivers are standing in solidarity with #fightfor15
