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)....

It's because they care for their members that they support Labour. |
I’m a Union member (Prospect) but won’t be voting Labour. Indeed even Prospect has expressed reservations about some of Labour’s nationalisation plans. |  | | |

This is how it works: the NHS Trust agrees to continue cancer diagnosis and other critical treatment during the strike action, and the union agrees to exempt them from the strike action and so critical diagnosis and treatment should go ahead - the NHS trust then unilaterally cancels appointments and blames the union's strike action.....
Since the union block vote was removed, most trade unions are actually more democratic than our current parliamentary voting system....
And if joining together is so bad, why are there political parties? Why doesn't each MP fight the cause for their constituents individually in Parliament?
In the company where I work, a few years ago, lots of people were being "performance managed" out of the organisation for no other reason than to reduce the head count - their knowledge and experience would have been sorely missed - the union stepped in and most of the damage was prevented - I have been a member of a union since my first day at work and have reason to be grateful for their help more than once.
The old days of "differentials" and "collective bargaining" have gone and won't come back (one person, one vote ensures that) - most unions exist now to ensure members (and non-members) aren't exploited, or exposed to unsafe working practices, or otherwise harshly treated - this is particularly important in the charity sector I believe. |  |

Why should the unions be politically neutral? Bizarre. |
The one I'm in is politically neutral, but it is in the tech sector rather than traditional occupations... | |

No issue with unions making that choice but I find it odd that someone would have that as an expectation of a union. If a party consistently promotes worker's rights whilst another doesn't then it would be a dereliction of duty for the union to remain neutral. | |

I agree, it wasn't an expectation from my part, just happens to be the sector I work in - we're not a public sector organisation so political views within members does vary considerably | |
