Welcome again to everybody! Make yourself at home. Sit down in that chair over there. Take off your shoes. I’m not cleaning mud off the floor. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread!
We have our own Matrix homeserver at https://genzedong.org; you can make an account with any Matrix client (e.g. Element). We also have a GenZedong Matrix room (see the sidebar for more information), and there’s a general Lemmygrad Matrix room at .

Short reading list for new MLs here. To find theory (and other books), you can use z-lib, libgen, or Sci-Hub (for scientific articles). If an article is unavailable, try the Wayback Machine.
Belgian government decided to allow companies to not raise wages above the index (yearly wage adjustment in line with inflation) for the next two years. There’s also a cheque for employees of 750 euro’s instead of a raise.
The unions are showing balls and refuse to accept it. They are already announcing actions ✊🏼 they are on fire.
Like, I’m really impressed by the unions. There’s lukewarm measures to help the people and they go like: ‘nah, that’s not it mate. We’re going out again.’
It really makes you feel valued as a worker.
I wish our unions where more like that. My union in particular refuses to strike, and even the word is said in hushed tones.
An union that doesn’t want to strike lol. That’s so strange.
