Just seen this posted on the BBC.

13:38: Simon, Basingstoke
emails: My wages have been frozen for 4 years and my pension is non-existent so I am all in favour of strike action! Hell I think I will strike too. The only thing is that as a private sector worker I might have to book it 2 weeks in advance and take it as holiday or unpaid leave.... In this day and age strike action should be illegal.

There's just no words :facepalm:
 
I have no idea. He's incomprehensible. He seems to support it yet then says it should be illegal? On the whole he seems to think it's some jolly lazy public sector workers going.

'I'm being royally fucked up the arse by my employer and so should you be' depressing how much we've been worn down :(
 
Can anyone tell me if any Unison health sections are out/supposed to be out in the West of England?
 
It's lucky people like Owen Jones and articul8 are pushing Labour to the left so successfully, otherwise the strikers would have been rounded up & shot by One Nation goons by now.
People like Socialist Appeal etc have been successfully pushing Labour to the left for years :D
 
apparently strong in a few places in Cardiff
main park was shut
went out with Wales IWW and got threatened by manager of poundland for blocking his shop with a flag never mind it was rammed in there and people were still going in!
he also claimed that he was on workfare and now is a manager and he would get me arrested! :D also we could fuck off with our protest.
this obviously meant more wobs joining me at the entrance for his return from fag break
they didn't like that we were turning people away and that the queue inside the shop could hear us
 
Bristol seemed a reasonable turnout. I didn't go for the whole thing but was walking home and went past college green as the speakers were on.
 
Same here - though there are also plenty of cunts who 'work from home' cos they won't go on strike but are too scared to cross the picket line.

These are often the same people who moan that they're not paid enough!

Our council was very strict on not allowing staff to work from home who are not registered home workers . Pickets were quite well attended and far more were out than the last strike mainly because loads more have joined the union during the cuts despite a real recruitment drive. Our local rally didn't take place as everyone was shipped off to the rally in Manchester which was a pity.
