The union had used the platform, now owned by the wealthiest man in the world, to raise tens of thousands of pounds to support the strikes of predominantly migrant cleaners.
I’m all for using all available resources to get your message across, but placing all your eggs into the same basket that was just blown up is peak stupidity.
They complain decades worth of posts were deleted, but instead of posting it somewhere else and just mirroring it to Twitter they went back to the same platform, with the same leadership and the same policies asking for the same to happen again.
They need to agitate where the people are
I would also argue that people you want to join and support unions are no longer on Twitter. It’s owned by openly anti-union child, and operated by Linda Yaccarino, former NBCUniversal’s advertising executive.
Is “placing all your eggs into the same basket” really what’s happened here? I don’t see it.

You think precarious workers are no longer on twitter because of musk and some exec no ones ever heard of?

No, I don’t think passive scrollers are no longer on Twitter. But I know active people that actually engage and support causes they care about are no longer on Twitter.
And secondary to that, unions are invisible on Twitter due to policies and algorithms set by current Twitter leadership. Best example of that being you can’t even see posts without being logging in into an account anymore.
If you think precarious workers are still on twitter (passive scrollers? What? Do you think that the precariat doesnt interact with the site?) and this is a union for precarious workers then I don’t understand why you’d think the people they want to join their union are no longer on twitter??
Lesson not learned.
??? They need to agitate where the people are, not from where it might be more convenient to do so

I am willing to bet they gain more awareness about workers by using the platform and the media cycle as it stands now than any now deleted post.
So maybe the lesson learned is a bit of the Streisand effect.
