Proud to have stood on the BSix picket line this morning.
This action represents far more than a single dispute — it’s part of a much wider struggle against the commodification of education and the erosion of its true purpose. Education should be a public good, not a product to be bought and sold.
Grateful to be shoulder to shoulder with dedicated reps and passionate members. Solidarity and strength all round 💪
