Lets give the unions MORE power because, after all, they are good people. 19:12 - Dec 2 with 2200 views | hampstead_blue | South West trains - 27 days of strikes around Christmas NI - 10,000 patients have had their appointments delayed by the union! On R4 this evening a union pleb apologised for the delay and accepted that it could cause upset and problems...... A bad week to have your cancer diagnosis appointment!!!!! Hands-up who wants to give the unions more power? The strikes are a vile and disgraceful action deliberately putting people's lives at risk. Hello!!! Is anyone at home? Vote Labour......Vote for free stuff (but only if you survive long enough).... [Post edited 2 Dec 2019 19:13]

The problem is that the Unions don't/won't reform. These strikes are just wrong and do nothing for their cause. The premise of a union is reasonable, the way they deliver it is selfish and laced with self-harm | |

Chap, I've just posted a link from the BBC and extrapolated it a little. If it's not to your liking then maybe pivot. The unions are sharpening their pencils ready if JC gets in. It can't get better! Write to Points of View with your complaint, or directly to JC. | |

"The premise of a union is reasonable, the way they deliver it is selfish and laced with self-harm" Why? What is wrong with collective bargaining? Unions have achieved many great things for their members and continue to do so. Having been a public sector employee, I can see why you may not realise the benefit, however.

I read the article, including the bit where the union said they'd given exemptions for cancer (and some other) services - I find using something as emotive as cancer especially low - and that many of the appointments were cancelled before the strike action was announced. It seems you've not read your own article. Again. | |

The premise is reasonable as I said. If the unions were politically agnostic then I'd start to warm to them. Would Len and all the other left wing union leaders resign for an agnostic leadership? | |
