Monthly rage packet

Slick YouTube-style campaiging from a Belgian union. Their Equal Pay Day (31 March was the second of these annual campaign days - bit late, sorry!) is similar to the UK Work Your Proper Hours Day in terms of using dates to really bring home work-related statistics to people who may be affected by them but not fully aware. In this case, it’s the end of March, as the average Belgian woman would need to work an extra 3 months of the year to earn the same as her male colleagues.

The online delivery may be cheap enough to do, but filming this and the other 3 slots they’ve done with a professional ad agency will have cost a fair bit (even on favour rates if they got them - unions don’t tend to in the UK!). Nice to see examples of unions really investing in online campaigning, and hope it did well for them.

Hat Tip: I’m sick of your insane demands

Doing, not B&Bing!

January 10th, 2007 by admin

Hurrah! Good news for the B&B industry in this little corner of Wiltshire, which has recently been freed from under the shadow of discrimination - or did I get the story wrong?

Norman Tebbit had the most weaselly quote of the day with: “The concerns which are being expressed this evening are primarily about sodomy rather than about sexual orientation - that is doing, not being”. Well it’s nice to see that his “doing not being” has well and truly “been done”.

All of this obviously being my own thoughts and nothing you can pin on my employers present or past, my union, my local party, my mates, or anyone else you might confuse me with - most of whom don't agree with me about very much anyway.
