Really?I have no idea and I can't say that I care.
If you care about what the ICC have to say then post a link of theirs or something, personally I don't and I'm not going to share their stuff and thats my choice.Really?
Why care enough about one irrelevant fragment of the communist left to repost its thoughts on US rail strikes while dismissing out of hand those of another, albeit slightly larger fragment of that same communist left?
Given that it's hard to get a theoretical fag paper between the two - not withstanding their mutual loathing - surely the working class needs the insight provided by both cutting edge revolutionary internationalist?

My friend's speaking in that video. He used to joke that he could never get a strike and then last year he had Chep and now Arrow. More than enough cold mornings on picket lines by now!Looks like a proper impressive turnout at the Arrow XL picket in Wigan this morning, considering it's a horrible December morning:
What matters is the content of the article I posted. Obvious but completely missed by you (who would rather behave like a sectarian dick instead).And after all that's what really matters.

Yeah. Never impressed by O'Grady but Nowak makes her look goodMeanwhile at the TUC, the damp dishcloth is replaced by a man who reckons his priority during a massive strike wave is to support Tory talking points:
Labour can’t ‘turn on the taps from day one’ on spending, says new TUC leader
Paul Nowak says party can ‘set a very clear direction of travel’ for public services if it wins next electionwww.theguardian.com
And after all that's what really matters.

'Sectarian dick' is a little rich coming from someone 'bigging up' the ICT while dissing the ICC.What matters is the content of the article I posted. Obvious but completely missed by you (who would rather behave like a sectarian dick instead).
Many thanks, the anticipation is the killer.btw, they don't seem to have made a standalone statement yet, but if they do i'll be sure to put it up and tag you on it.
From earlier in the thread:Given the amount of strikes going on and pissed off workers in so many sectors, why do you think the idea of a general strike hasn't been discussed at a high level in the trade union movement (unless it has and I've missed it)? Are union bosses ultimately just happy with getting a few more crumbs from the table and have no desire to change the overall system radically?
I'm hearing that the TUC is looking at having a coordinated day of action across all unions with mandates - so, the closest thing legally possible to a general strike - around the end of January or very start of Feb, anyone else hearing anything about this?
This is roughly what I heard a few weeks back when PCS (mostly) won its ballots. Gives enough time for a couple of reballots and people being too skint to do a one layer before Christmas.
I think uk trade union laws don't make that easy.Given the amount of strikes going on and pissed off workers in so many sectors, why do you think the idea of a general strike hasn't been discussed at a high level in the trade union movement (unless it has and I've missed it)?

I think it’s more co-ordinated between different unions with existing mandates which is about as close as can be legally done.General strikes are against the law so it's unlikely the TUC would ever call one. It'd have to be some sort of wildcat general strike.
Got to say it shows that the tories have no notion of what work is. Some employers may sack strikers most won’t. The work workers do is pretty skilled from the cleaner to the nurse to the lecturer. None can be replaced easily, as training and knowledge take time to build and to just do away with that will hamper the bosses in the long run.Though the article is currently 'free to read' on The Times website I archived it because it probably won't always be and because well, Murdoch:
Rishi Sunak’s strike law to let bosses sack workers and sue unions
