Strike strike strike, get what you are owed. The rich do not like it when the little guy demands what they are owed! Solidarity!!
I can see the media now if the strike goes ahead.
“How do you feel about all of these disruptions that you’re causing for hard-warking people and parents? All of these kids missing out on vital education?”
The timing doesn’t make much sense at all.!
I fully expect to have been on strike within the next year if not sooner and I’m a council employee.
Laughs uncomfortably in hourly paid, 0 hour contract.
Winter of discontent mk 2
I had to get a bus yesterday because of the train strike’s, trust me when I say you’re just pissing people off not one person on that bus supported the strike’s.
If support for council workers expands into other areas this will be massive. There are a hell of a lot of school support staff (TA’s, Cleaners, Caretakers & Maintenance, Catering, Secretarial ect) that are paid just above minimum wage for only 2/3s of the year for one.
Probably worth noting that this story appears to be about Scotland specifically. Although if they strike it might easily spread.
All we need now is for the grave diggers to go on strike, and Netflix to do an ironic reboot of Love Thy Neighbour, and we will be right back in the 70s.
*In Scotland…*
Accept the five percent that everyone Else has too
