Strike!

[Fab Foodie]

A thread for all strike related chatter.
I reckon there's going to be plenty of them to discuss....

Here’s one about the government blaming everyone but themselves.

Will be interesting to see what the impact is and if homeworking re Covid has an effect. I do wonder if there are less commuters then it may end up more prolonged.

I know I’ve posted this elsewhere but here’ the execrable Chris Philp finding himself unable to look Mick Lynch in the eye.

I hope the RMT does better for its members than my former union managed for healthcare workers. It'll be interesting to see if the strikes spread, I saw something about criminal barristers being prepared to walk out. My current union has a no strike policy so I'll be at work whatever.

Join. A. Union.

The summer of discontent has begun it seems.

Teachers, NHS workers, postal workers are next.

Gov only has themselves to blame.

According to Mr Cookiemonster, who is a barrister, said that barristers in England and Wales have walked out until Monday.

I am genuinely horrified by the comment about "indoctrinating Primary School Teachers"

Terrible thing to say

What about those of us who spent many years teaching in Secondary school indoctrinating the older children
WHAT ABOUT US!!!

I demand ACTION

Long hot summers often result in inner city riots. It doesn’t take much to set them off and the government aren’t helping.

And it's gone. Lasted about half an hour.

What did it say?

Oh, it was bad. I mean I get that it's an attempt to chase the disgruntled Tory vote but Jesus Christ it was bad.

Post deletion breaks the internet far worse than false equivalence.

It was a backlash that burned with the light of a million suns. Brief though it may have been, it was truly a sight to behold.
