  • Christina McAnea, General Secretary of Unison, has warned that co-ordinated strikes are likely this winter.
    She said action was possible across several sectors.
    Ms McAnea said the mini-budget showed that the Conservative government wanted "ordinary people" to pay for the cost of living crisis.

    If people on universal credit are just supposed to take any job, including in areas for which they are not qualified, seems to me those poor bankers who don't want to stay in banking (the poor lambs) could 'just retrain' and help the NHS.

    Well done Unison! This appears to be the only way forward.

    The more that government is intent on introducing legislation to prevent strikes the more likely that a general strike is going to happen. In which case the level of disruption would be massive.

    Yes we understand the Tories are always going to favour Big Business and give them Tax Breaks and incentives.
    BUT NOT NOW!! The world is heading into a recession. The UK is in a recession.
    People need support and decent wages to pay their Bills and keep warm. And if they are not paying their Bills or buying stuff then - 'brainwave' - how is Big business going to make more money?

      Brainwave. Make uk an attractive place for execs and big business may locate here... make stuff...export products and services. Money coming into an economy from outside is how wealth is generated. Unpalatable but true

    So let's get this straight: It's OK for journalists to belong to the NUJ but it isn't OK for anyone else to belong to a union or have any kind of workplace representation.

    Perhaps everyone on the sick could come into work to allow the workers to strike

    How can strike action not make staffing worse?!
    And a coordinated strike between multiple unions for political reasons is a general strike. Doesn't matter what the unions call it.

    • @timg1246
      @timg1246 Рік тому

      No, it would not be a general strike. The unions have no intention of calling a general strike because nobody would actually do it apart from a few leftists who probably do not work anyway.
      A co-ordinated strike is not a general strike.
