  1. This is what need. Have the people turn on themselves so that the government and big companies can continue to behave like total bellends and carry on taking the piss out of us

  2. I support any legal industrial action carried out by unionised workers irrespective of the industry or the union involved.

    We need greater solidarity not divisive personal politics.

    The government and big business are taking the piss and loving the lack of recourse from the majority of workers.

  3. If students went to their local schools they wouldn’t need to use trains and the standards would increase instead of creating sink schools.

  4. >He said: “Unions really were created at the beginning to avoid the exploitation of vulnerable people and there’s nobody more vulnerable than these students.”

    >”I just feel very sad for those students and young folks who are going to be affected by something that is nothing to do with them personally,” he said.

    These students will become even more vulnerable if their futures are eroded further by weakening unions. It has everything to do with them.

    Support each other. Let’s not help with our dividing and conquering.

  5. You know what links a headteacher, a rail worker, a doctor, an engineer, the person who cleans the toilets, someone “on benefits”, your line manager?

    We and our silly salaries and funny jobs are all proletarian shit on the shoes of the elites.

    *Divide and conquer.*

  6. Yet another straight anti-union article from the BBC, this time literally just a quote from some random headteacher. Not even the slightest attempt to provide an alternative viewpoint alongside it.

  7. Really? This is the hill you want to die on? Dividing everyone else because one group decided they wanted to be paid better? We should all be demanding more, we should all want fair wages, and it’s the ones up high who choose not to give that to us.
