Unions threaten ‘waves of industrial action’ over UK cost of living crisis

  1. The only people this really affects is the strikers and the people who rely on the service that is on strike. Short term gains may be had but businesses and impacted services will do their best to ensure it can’t happen again and will erode workers rights, find ways of working with less staff and find ways to get rid of trouble makers..if you think back to the major strikes in this country was there any long term gain?

  2. I’m in favour of strikes in the broad sense but I’m not sure what the country needs right now when it’s hard to afford anything anyway are strikes that make it virtually impossible to get anything done whether you can afford it or not.

    It would help if we had a government who gave a shit, or who might be tempted to give a shit if the masses revolted hard enough but we don’t, do we?

    I don’t have a solution but throwing ourselves on the mercy of a supermajority bunch of mindless, immoral ivory tower neo-gentry doesn’t seem to be doing anyone any good so far

  3. Need a permanent general strike. Grind it all to a halt until Tories are forced into doing something meaningful or calling an election in an attempt to blame Labour.

  4. Don’t threaten them, do them and give the government no choice but to acknowledge their shortcomings. They are not willing to negotiate, they are happy to ignore us or offer us crumbs at best. Consistent strikes across industries is the only language they will understand because it will hit them in the wallet, the only thing they care about.
