apologies for the trot article, but they were the top result I saw in English that was free and not the BBC
looks like the government is trying to pass a 50-hour work week, lift a ban on outsourcing, end a law that forces rehiring workers who were wrongfully terminated, and expand the list of services that must remain open during strikes amongst over 100 changes

It's only a national general strike. We should do a general general strike.

Imo they tend to be even more distorted than liberal ones. Like, you can be reading a trot article and they'll tell you why a thing is bad based on a line struggle from the 70s, but they won't tell you what actually happened. I'll take liberals who lie through emphasis but at least usually tell you what actually happened and have a bias that maps into modern political lines I'm more familiar with.
