Het kabinet wil de IVA uitkering afschaffen, voor mensen die voorgoed #arbeidsongeschikt zijn. Zij zouden dan voortaan onder de gewone WIA (#WGA) vallen, waardoor hun uitkering omlaag gaat en ze bovendien steeds herkeurd moeten worden, zelfs al weet iedereen dat ze nooit meer beter worden.

De Kamer protesteert, maar alleen tegen verlaging van de uitkering.

Het grote probleem met de plannen om de #IVA af te schaffen is echter niet de verlaging, al is dat ook ontzettend klote.

Maar mensen die nooit meer beter worden, onderwerpen aan het strafregime wat de #WIA steeds meer is, en de terugkerende onzekerheid van zinloze keuringen, dát is nog veel erger.

Mensen die nooit meer kunnen werken verdienen veiligheid en zekerheid, in plaats van deze enorm stresserende martelgang, die de willekeur van de #UWV keuringen met zich meebrengen. Hoeveel zwartboeken wil je nog krijgen?

Behoudt de IVA!

“If I do nothing else tonight, I really want to implore you, go out and find a young person to believe in,” he said.

He then shared some advice: “Give an hour of your time to someone every month, … volunteer at the showrunners training program, … ask the PA or writer’s assistant if they want to walk to set with you or grab lunch and talk. … Being a mentor is never selfless…” - Bill Lawrence during the WGA ceremony. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Today in Labor History November 25, 1947: The "Hollywood Ten" were blacklisted by Hollywood movie studios for refusing to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). The blacklist lasted for 13 years, when Dalton Trumbo, a former Communist Party member, was finally credited as the screenwriter of the films “Exodus” and “Spartacus.” Some of the stars accused of having Communist ties included Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, Katharine Hepburn and Fredric March. In 1941, Walt Disney blamed "Communist agitation" for the cartoonists and animators' strike. In 1945, Gerald L. K. Smith, founder of the fascist America First Party, began giving speeches attacking the "alien minded Russian Jews in Hollywood." Ronald Reagan, who was president of the actor’s union, testified before HUAC that a clique within the union was using "communist-like tactics." His first wife, actress Jane Wyman, blamed his allegations against friends and colleagues as a factor leading to their divorce.
