Riot season

[NorthernRaider]

That old chesnut is simple FACT steve, FACT

When the London underground drivers go on strike as they do most weeks because a colleague is sack for thieving, fiddling or breaking some employment law exactly WHO do the strikers hurt? Is it the rich in their BMWs, Merc, Jag or chauffer driven Limos or is the the office girl , the nurse, the student, the shop worker etc?

When the miners went on strike and caused nation wide power cuts that plunged millions into the dark in mid winter, who did the unions hurt? was it the rich with their back up generators or the poor working class reliant on the mains supplies.

When the miners drove the price of domestic coal to record levels that caused fuel poverty for millions in the 70s were they bothered any more than when they murdered an innocent taxi driver taking to colliery office staff to work.

what about when the miners started pelting their fellow trade unionist firemen with rocks after fires the miners started got out of control?

When you say Employers refuse to negotiate you actually mean surrender to union demands, and that sir is why union membership like membership of the labour party is at its lowest, because the unions do not represent the workers or the working class.

BTW you refer to the nurses not striking and being victimised, Yup that is right my wife is a matron and she has a team of nurses under her control, and the tories have not given them a rise for three years. But when Labour and the unions were in power LABOUR implimented the NHS Agenda for change which saw my wife and her colleagues loses £300 a month even after the Labour government promised no nurses would be worse off, and their unions response when they asked for help was to say, " We have to work with the Labour government we cannot rock the boat for a few disgruntled nurses"
