Should Corbyn remain as Labour leader?

[aRdja]

A call centre job at a not-for-profit organisation and an entry level role at the largest chain in the world worth in excess of $30bn. I repeat, I was happy not bring other professions into it mate. I’m also happy for McDonald’s employees to organised a strike for them to get better pay. I really don’t understand the indignation over this. Are you a shareholder @A Red @Strontium Dog™?

I think the pertinent question here is, do you support Labour Party workers in their fight against paltry pay, and would you support them if they follow through with strike action?

I just checked and one of my mutuals is. So butt out, commie!

Haha. This is veering a bit too close to Sam Harris-esque non-sense thought experiment SD.

This if from June.

 

Did they ever go on strike?

 

 

[Strontium]

Probably not, as we didn't hear any more about it.

Labour’s 4 day week plan not getting the same level of attention as when SD mentioned it.  Funny that. 

[aRdja]

It genuinely baffles that some people get really offended by other posters being partisan.

An interesting article on the positive impact on the industry from pay increase for restaurant staff in NYC.

Hopefully this will convince the pay increase sceptics that most likely this will not result in a total catastrophe for the UK economy cc @Strontium Dog™ @A Red @Rico1304

Seems to make sense that the more people that have a disposable income the better for the economy.

Not sure what this has to do with me or why you've decided to mark me as a "pay increase sceptic"? I am on record here stating that the UK minimum wage should be guaranteed to at least 90% of the level of the independently calculated living wage:

Additionally, it reduces the burden on the state, because there's less need for government to supplement low incomes, and they pay more tax.

 

Not sure why aRdja thinks those are things I would be against.

Ah I see, my mistake. So what is it about this particular McDonalds staff organised strike action that you’re against? Just Jeremy Corbyn’s support? Or do you feel that £15 per hour is too much?

Did you also vote to cut spending on flood defences like the Tory/Lib-Dem coalition did in 2010?

Honestly, I must have mentioned half a dozen times that my issue is with demanding others pay £15 an hour when you only pay £10 an hour yourself.

 

I have no issue with people paying their staff £15 an hour, or indeed £10 an hour, as a general rule.

Ok, he’s not demanding McDonald’s pay their staff £15 an hour, so that’s probably where you’re going wrong

Splitting hairs there aren't you. He's supporting their fight for £15 an hour, the difference is academic.

Or me, I think minimum wages are a good idea. Certainly can’t see why young people are discriminated against simply on age.  
 

the other weird one is telling me you don’t care what I think then asking me questions or @‘ing me.

Okay, so you don’t think Labour should support the strike for McDonalds staff pay increase, because Labour pay their er.. call centre staff less than what the McDonald’s staff are demanding?

Let me put it this way: I think it's easier to grandstand about what other companies are paying their staff than it is to address the pay grievances of your own staff.

I was trying to help alleviate whatever concerns you might have with regards to this issue.

Did Labour not address these “pay grievances” for their staff? They pay their call centre staff the same amount, if not more than what cash rich energy companies are paying theirs. One could only imagine your outrage had Labour relied solely on volunteers.

You're back to your annoying habits, missing the point, making ridiculous assumptions then asking stupid questions or in this case cc'ing.
