Strikes

[Grafenwalder]

I’m very supportive of NHS, but not rail workers because they get paid really well.

The drivers get a fair whack, not so much the people who are members of the RMT. The drivers' union ASLEF generally strikes over T&C's or potential H&S issues but rarely for pay.

Cleaners average £21k and guards do slightly better at £30k. The rail companies want to bin guards though.

I know a driver who's spent three years on the sick before retiring six months ago to his Lochside new home in Kilmarnock and fair fucks to him. It's like shit about fast-food workers earning more than nurses and teachers and other shit like that, SO PAY THEM FUCKING MORE! Low wages create low self-worth because you're renting yourself out for a price that you agreed to and you're a bit disgusted by that inside because you know that you're whoring yourself out in the 'essentials' aisle knowing that you have to give notice to GTFO but you can be binned in an instant.

Just watched the CWU livecast on YouTube. I will be voting YES.

General Strike is what is needed to get the feckless, lying & corrupt government out. People? You have become too complacent and it's why they throw you scraps. Seems you should "know your place"....

The locals are in May, go and wear out some shoe leather

Activism is more than withdrawing labour.

Yes and it means getting off thy lazy ass, and many want everyone else to do it for them. Such a sad state of affairs. People have lost their get up and do it. Too meek for me.

Judging by all the picket lines, and all the different professions, and unions, going on strike/voting to strike, it would appear that you have just made a gross understatement.
MP's get unwarranted pay rises, they always pilfer the coffers, and yet they want us all to be poorly valued and paid.
Fuck 'em!

Us pensioners are getting a rise after threatening to go on strike.

We Americans have revolutionary thoughts, unlike you Brits

But Roald Dhal, or was it Jeremy Clarkson and John Cleese and Alf Garnet repeats not allowed even though they're actually on That's TV and ..... FFS don't mention the NHS, or eggs or tomatoes because despite the fact we took 18 billion more in taxes than expected we can't spend it on public services because we're going to give that aways as a tax cut to billionaires.

Opps did I say that out loud?

Look

TBF they were taxes from last year and not an accurate account of the income from this fiscal year that ends in April, no wonder that the government are hesitant to splurge it all on social reforms and pay rises.

On a lighter note HMG's advice through the DEFRA Minister Dr Thérèse Coffey (Chemistry but she does love to use the honorific) was to buy more turnips because of the salad shortages but now there's a problem...

Turnips are grown as cattle food along with beet and there hasn't been much demand for them domestically for ages and then there was a surge on root vegetables, and now there are further shortages of said root vegetables

I didn't know that Herren Coffey was three years younger than Kylie Minogue
