Workers at port of Felixstowe to strike for 8 days this month in pay dispute Tags:United Kingdom 8 comments All of these strikes remind me of the 80s. You know, that decade the Tory voters were saying that Labour would take us back to. As for the strikers, good for them. The pay increase they were offered was pathetic. Edit: looks like I can’t make an anecdotal and true comment which happens to be pro-union without this overly-sensitive sub getting shitty Good for them. If everyone fought like this for their wages, we wouldnt see the wage stagnation that has got us into this mess. If you don’t push back, those at the top will weedle you out of every penny they can. The more of us and the longer the strikes continue the better. Pay rises for all. If Felixstowe is shut for 8 days this will have a big impact Great stuff, more please. Funny, the politicians on TV are desperate for us to be outraged about all the different strikes but all I see among the public is support OMG, don’t these people understand how this will effect… <checks notes> …erm, NHS staff?
