banjodeano Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 No he just went to court for calling an illegal strike. And now they are talking about bringing in new laws to make striking even harder, why dont they just say "Its illegal to strike...end off".....they are trying to take away our basic human rights....

banjodeano Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 We're in deep (ahem) **** here in the UK, and striking will not help matters. Why can't people accept this, and bite the bullet until we turn the economy round? If you can't go on your foreign holiday, or buy a new car for a few years, so what? It's not the end of the world. Let's just back off until the economy recovers. And if you don't like your union leaders, and their salaries and expenses, vote them out. If you can't, you're in the minority. And lets keep giving the bosses and bankers the big fat bonuses :huh: I think you have been listening to all the tory crap for too long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t break the government rules he broke the union rules, he should have balloted all members as one union but he knew there wouldn’t get the majority wanting to strike, so he balloted each area then used the striking areas to force the non striking areas out of work.

Gormenghast Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I can't see it here......

ECCOnoob Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 And lets keep giving the bosses and bankers the big fat bonuses :huh: I think you have been listening to all the tory crap for too long Errm bosses get the biggest bonuses because they are the boss. They make the decisions and have the overall responsibility. If you dont like that work harder and become one yourself. As sensibly confirmed above a right to strike is not a human right neither is there any automatic right to have a job be grateful you have one and get on with it.
