It's about time the worm turned and it's good to see........ Wouldn't put it past this lot to make it illegal to strike. In fact they almost did once before years ago by making it a so bloody complicated and long winded process hardly any bugger bothered...... As far as I'm aware that process is still in place but obviously people are now prepared to make the commitment...But what will this lot do to combat it? More changes in the law wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.
Aren’t they currently enacting some legislation which will provide for a bank of agency workers to take over the roles of any strikers? Heard something along those lines on the radio this morning.
I agree with Raef that this rail dispute seems to be Johnson’s “Thatcher v the Miners” moment. That twat of a Transport Minister Shapps/Green sent out with the message that the Govt won’t be getting involved, refusing to speak to the RMT (pathetic, childish, irresponsible) whilst backstage interfering to provoke maximum disruption and to try and discredit the workers and their union. You know, any dirty tactic to “divide and rule”.
Hope that sooner or later the British public will wise up and see how the Tories are systematically destroying all the hard-won rights we have/had. Whilst being understandably angry about disruption to their rail journey or holiday flights they might also sometime spare a thought for all the people now actually dying waiting for the necessary help from the NHS the Tories have deliberately “scuppered”. One day it will be them or someone they know and love.
Anyway, get the pitchforks ready, I’m in.
“The workers united, will never be defeated!”
