Frances O’Grady Quote: “Voting to go on strike is…”

Voting to go on strike is not a decision working people take lightly and is always accompanied by a strong sense of injustice at work. The impact of losing a day’s pay is significant, not least for those in the lowest paid jobs who are already on the tightest budgets.

Ruth J. Simmons Quote: “The committee’s work is not about…”

August 19, 2021 1955, American, January 16, Mary Karr, Quotes by Poets

Peter Singer Quote: “There is no excuse for keeping…”

If the public will not pay to see them, the businesses that profit from keeping animals captive will not be able to continue.

Benazir Bhutto Quote: “In 1988, when democracy was restored…”

In 1988, when democracy was restored, the military establishment was still very powerful. The extremist groups were still there. And when the aid and assistance to Pakistan was cut, we had to adopt harsh economic policies. So in a way, it showed that democracy doesn’t pay, and the military was able to reassert itself.

July 16, 2021 1953, Benazir Bhutto, June 21, Pakistani, Quotes by Leaders
