The closer we get to a general strike the more it looks like we have actual backbone
They will guilt people with rubbish like it’s “frightening the students” but I’d argue it’s something students need to be exposed to as they will likely be doing the same in their own working life at some point if things don’t drastically change
It’s about time the shift of power swung back towards the workers.
You’ve got companies making billions of pounds in profit, but over stretched workers are being told that if they ask for a pay rise they are responsible for pushing inflation higher? Screw that, I hope the unions party like it’s the 70’s.
What does that headline mean?
B.b.b.but it will be CHAOS I tell ya….CHAOS…all that forewarning and having alternatives will leave us in CHAOS!!!
Until the gov dose something the Strikes will continue and the disruptions will get worse
Good. I know I’m probably being naive but does anyone else just want absolute carnage at this point? I’ve had it with this government, the shocking greed and wealth hoarding in this country is sickening.
Let chaos reign, hope everyone who can strike does so.
The headline might as well say “Union threatens SINGLE MUM (23) visiting FOOD BANK and retired war HERO (47) from visiting dementia patient dad in care home”
They need to strike very soon then, A-level results are distributed to universities (don’t know about colleges and GCSEs) several weeks before ‘results day’.
We need a culture shift. It can’t continue to be acceptable for businesses to make multimillion pound profits and not passing any of it on to workers.
Mike Lynch has pointed it out with their strikes, all the train lines affected made millions in profits last year, they can afford to pay their workers better but are choosing not to.
There has to be a general strike!! Everyone who is struggling or not on living wage should strike for a week.
Can we reconsider these headlines please? How about “University boss’s risk results day strikes if conditions aren’t met” or something? Strikes are a symptom, not a cause.
Every time I see an MP disparaging public sector or public service worker pay rises, I grow more and more angry. Not just because it’s immoral, but because they have taken a £15k pay rise to salary in the last 5years but somehow that was ok? While public service / sector works almost always get under inflation at best.
Results days, the days of which have no bearing on anything.
General Strike time. Time to put the greedy Bastards in their place like we should have done 10 years ago. Remember you make the items, you fix the machines and maintain the buildings. The wealthy have nothing without your Labour.

The more strikes the better imo…

They get their results emailed anyway?
These are the problems, not the workers.
