“Solidarity forever!” chant teachers in Kenya who are on strike against low pay and increasingly poor conditions imposed by the neoliberal government of Prime Minister Ruto. Schools across the entire country have been shut down as the mobilization enters its second week.
These strikes come just a couple of months after historic mass protests defeated a regressive tax law, part of the IMF-imposed austerity policies.
The teachers’ union (KUPPET) has stated that the government is effectively cutting teachers’ pay by refusing to promote teachers who have seniority. In a press conference yesterday they stated, “We are witnessing a conspiracy to make teachers of this country irrelevant, to reduce them to casual laborers”.
These backdoor pay cuts from the government are another attempt at complying with IMF austerity demands, a consequence of a giant 2021 loan which the IMF is now demanding payment through tax rises on the poor, spending cuts, and privatization.

Wie Großbritanniens Asyl-Deal mit Ruanda Tausende neue Geflüchtete produziert
Mit einer vermeintlich simplen Lösung wollte Großbritannien sein gewaltiges Asylproblem lösen. 300 Millionen Pfund später ist die Lösung weiter entfernt als zuvor.

Good Idea: Interview the company, if you want to work with them.

When you're interviewing for a job, it's important to remember that the process is a two-way street. You're not just being evaluated; you're also evaluating the company to see if it's the right fit for you. To get a genuine sense of what it's like to work there, ask open-ended questions that encourage detailed responses. For example, you might ask about the interviewer's experience at the company, how they handle challenges, or how they celebrate successes. Pay close attention to both what they say and how they say it. This will help you uncover the company's true culture and decide if it's a place where you can thrive.
