I amazed that the number of posters seem to think unions are bad or their members don’t deserve a pay rise. Not one union official votes in ballots for strike action it is the members that decide. For those in the private sector who claim they get treated worse than the public sector the message is simple join a union get organised and fight back. Low pay and divide and conquer has been a tactic used for centuries to keep workers down.

On a separate note I’m delighted to see the U.K. government honouring the triple lock guarantee on pensions, which means those in retirement will receive a cost of living increase it’s just a shame they don’t think worker deserve it too
