FFS No; they got a look in because the encumbent government of the day embraced globalisation and cheap coal/steal at the expense of whole communities that their class created in the first place without a thought or care for the economic consequences for those families who depended on those industries; inadvertently creating the benefit culture and disenfranchising most of the north of England.

If it heats up tomorrow I’m sure the “Wardrobe Manager” will be round with some nice shorts and a lighter Post Office fleece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Industrial action or the threat of it has done almost as little for us as the Romans. That was then... this is now.

Just take whatever erosion of rights and conditions are thrown down by a management structure that couldn’t strategise it’s way out of a paper bag? Downing tools is the only weapon in Labours arsenal when Capital tightens the screw; if we were genuinely ‘all in it together’ and the same changes were being made at every level of the CS including MHK’s I’d agree that the postal workers shouldn’t come out but I doubt very much that will ever happen.

Neil Down Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I’m not saying what is happening is right or wrong but if a strike is the only way they think they are going to achieve something then they need all the unions on board. Pretty sure that’s how it worked for the Steam packet when they had the last seamen’s strike. Happy to be corrected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labour. Are you joking? The "Labour" your fathers generation knew was a million miles away from what purports to be the friend of the worker now.

Happy to be corrected For what it is worth, I "scabbed" on that to make sure the power station got it's oil so the strikers could still watch their f****** TVs and cook meals.

I took 'labour' to mean the workers, not the political party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
