Oh no! Trusty old laptop finally expired, so I need to start my trade union sticker collection all over again. Anyone got swaps?
Two laptops. One with lots of labor union related stickers, one blank.

BrewDog scrapping their 10 year real Living Wage for bar staff is awful. But it sets a terrible precedent too for employers ducking out of ethical pledges. Join the petition here: megaphone.org.uk/petitions/b…
