General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

You would not believe how hard it can be to get retail staff to join a union.
With women, I got a few to consider it, one was up for it until she realised she had to pay a tenner a month. My male colleagues, not one wanted to know. I don't know why they are so against it. And mind, this was in a job where the store manager was a bully (physically assaulted me, a short weedy woman, twice. One of my biggest life regrets is not reporting it while we had the cctv footage) and we had multiple staff just walk out rather than deal with his verbal and emotional abuse (head office protected him because he brought in the profits).
I just don't get why most people are so against joining a union.
Agree. And talking to older people about this is like swearing. they get very crazy, like crazy like you have just suggesting they broke the law and have a disease.
They then continue to complain about people’s treatment
