Depends which end of the telescope you look through.
Every strike inconveniences another worker, sends a small business into bankruptcy, increases prices, pushes up inflation, and costs the taxpayer more. And so the circle of wage demands goes round again.
Way to go
Shows how much impact their strikes have had.
Just change the initials to fit most unions. At the moment we have railworkers, barristers, nhs, doctors, teachers, airport staff all heading for the trough.
Too many NUT workers spend time looking around to attack anyone outside of their group. Lets take money from the bosses, the shareholders, the government, the tax payers, commuters etc etc.
All I am suggesting is that some of their own workers seem very happy to take more from the pot. Think...
" People on the left-wing generally believe in taking income from the wealthiest and redistributing it among the poorer part of the population."
So its OK to redistribute money as long as no workers are compromised.
I'm not suggesting they take money away from those earning £70K+ per year, just them offering a gesture to the lowest workers by leaving any current increase in the pot for them. Too left wing for you?
The idea of levelling up is a good one.
Its a shame the Unions are not applying the same principles within their own membership. With train drivers etc getting in excess of £70 K wouldn't it be a nice gesture if they gave up a pay rise so the money can be given to rail cleaners etc.
But no...
How times have changed. Just a few years ago, we had NSC tracking every move of Lua Lua, from the airport to the medical, to the hotel, with photographic updates at each stage etc.
We are close to signing the best prospect in Paraguay and this thread readily slips down the page.
