El Cid Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Why is Cameron taking on the unions and public sector when strikes are at an all time low. There is no problem, nothing to fix, if there is something wrong with workers striking, why are the public sector being singled out? Public services are being run by anyone that offers the best and cheapest service, there is nothing to fix. Cameron is also making union organisers wear an identification arm band, the unions are highlighting government failures and the Tories are doing there best to diminish their powers. Join the march on Sunday in Manchester. https://www.tuc.org.uk/about-tuc/no-austerity-4-oct-march-and-rally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiseOwl182 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 What exactly do you object to in this bill? Leaders having to wear armbands? 50% turnout? On what grounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna B Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 My right to strike being taken away, because of political reasons. I entirely agree with your OP but perhaps more correct to say it's being eaten away, quietly; bit by unobtrusive bit. It's like a game of chess, all the pieces are being put in position...

El Cid Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 So the bill will take away your right to strike?? In comparison to the private sector, we should have the same rights. ---------- Post added 28-09-2015 at 21:04 ---------- I entirely agree with your OP but perhaps more correct to say it's being eaten away, quietly; bit by unobtrusive bit.

El Cid Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 So the bill will take away your right to strike?? Of the few strikes in 2014, this was one of them. Public sector strikes hit schools and services around the UK, 10 July 2014 - turnout of 27% http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-28240683 It would not happen after this years changes to the law.

Berberis Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 My right to strike being taken away, because of political reasons. You still have the right to strike, you just don't have the right to impose your will on the whole union without a majority in favour. Its only right, especially when you could hold the country to ransom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairyworld14 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 As a Nurse , I would never strike , my conscience wouldn't let me at all . I love my patients too much & I don't think Doctors would come out on strike either , by doing so , they too are putting patients at risk . Unless , they are off duty at the time , then it is up to them what they do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
