Like there was any doubt. You mention ALL THESE STRIKES by the LEFTIE MILITANT UNIONS that little s on the end, makes all the difference when you are telling lies. wrong again - It's ONE STRIKE by ONE ORDINARY UNION the NEU - National Education Union - and that is evidence of WHAT? That article refers to a big protest in regard of ONE STRIKE by ONE UNION and, it was you who put the word LEFTIE in, as you always do and it was you who put the MILITANTS in, as you always do. Do you actually know the difference between these 2 words Union and Unions Union means one union on it's own and unions means more than one union in this case it's one union, the NEU You match your mate and idol, Boris for your relationship with the truth.

That's quite the rant. 1, I've never once used the word militant in any post until now. 2, If you read my post again you will see that I used the word unions to describe the many strikes that have been happening and still are. I believe there is more than one union for nurses, teachers, rail workers and the Fire brigade...correct? 3, Boris has never been my idol. I am surprised you didn't use the word fanboy to be fair so kudos for that. The strikes are nothing more than a mass protest against the government by unionS, not conditions of its workers, as they boldly claimed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You referred to the article in the Observer as EVIDENCE regarding STRIKES and UNIONS. Completely wrong - The article mentions a protest in support of ONE STRIKE by ONE UNION. If workers, unions or any other group of people want to protest against the government, they are perfectly within their rights to do so without having to boldly claim anything. We live in a free country and not a Nazi or Communist state and so we are, and they are, allowed to do such things. We know you righties would like to clamp down on peoples freedoms and believe in oppression but, it's not here yet so they can do as they please. We know you and your fellow righties don't like it but you will just have to take a chill pill until it's all over. Just think on - if people see how worked up you get, they might do it even more just to annoy you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delbow Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 News coming out is that RCN members have rejected the pay offer, despite the union leadership recommending accepting. So it turns out they are democratic organisations after all and don't just do what the leadership says. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like there was any doubt. That's not matched by reality though. As Organgrinder has said, in workplaces there isn't just one trade union operating, there are sometimes two, three or more unions. Each will have a different stance, depending on the jobs that their members do and other factors. It sounds like you've got a very fixed and almost stereotypical notion of what the left is, which is not borne out in reality. I do notice that you quote an article in the Guardian as evidence to support your argument; which is rather odd, given that you've started a whole thread about how dreadful the Guardian is. But there you go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 The Nursers and the Junior Doctors who are striking are an utter disgrace. Instead of striking they should be doing so many hours a month of community service on their days off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
