Yay, really embracing that Brexit feeling by heading back to the 70s.
You know what, may sound terrible, the UK has its pants down around its knees trying to figure out with Russian money boys they want to keep out of the 95 unsanctioned Russians.
What with the current effects of Brexit, the Russian war against Ukraine, and the PMs (your guys) dithering around… now is a perfect time to strike.
Honey, they need you all right now more than you need them. Don’t wait to starve…”change them, or change their minds” … you just might get their attention and supportive response, well, after a bit of well applied pressure. Not one of those bench warmers wants to go out and find another job (I learned that from our idiot reps over here).
Just a thought.
This is 100% right. Working in community to fight for better pay and rights is the way forward. If we don’t do it, they will keep screwing us, and wages and rights will continue to diminish, especially after Brexit. Unity is powerful.
Didn’t England banker say no uncontrollable pay rises?
Not if you’re zero hour contract and need the hours. Hell, I know i’m expendable. They could easily fire me and replace me with someone else because my job isn’t specalised. Waiters on zero hour contracts lack any sort of power. Zero hour contract workers are in a position where we really need the hours because when it’s quiet, there’s fuck all work. I barely managed to pay my rent in feb. If I tried to secure a pay rise, i suspect my hours would suddenly decrease.
Come on guys! There’s no magic money tree! There is, however, 20bn+ to flush down the shitter for Brexit, which could have sorted all the cost of living shit out.
In short, strike! Revolt, fuck the Tories.
