Strike Action

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

I got a GP’s letter in the post on Monday. Dated 11 November. And postmarked 24 November. Which was a reminder for something I’d already seen them for on 10 November. 
 

A whole raft of incompetence and delay.

Lazy bastard GP receptionists?

Maybe. Or just not enough of them and a GP who owns loads of practices, too many to manage effectively and who appears to run them with profit in mind, more than patient care.

If people feel they need to strike, good for them. I'm sure it's not a decision people normally take lightly, and I imagine we'll be going on strike soon ourselves.

 

What I don't like is when an inherently selfish act like a strike is presented as some arch point of principle. It's not a matter of principle, you just want more money. Which, of course, you are entitled to request.

Absolutely. reduce funding/staff etc blame thenm sell it to private companies for more money into the pockets of the super rich.

That's literally what it is but ok.

Not really, many people strike even if they don't want to as an act of solidarity. People lose pay, or aren't themselves always impacted by what the employer is planning, but they down tools anyway to support those who are.

bbc hinting it could be along the lines of banning emergency workers from striking.

Obviously there is no scope for that to be abused

[Red Phoenix]

Maybe the Tories will be having another leadership contest soon at this rate.

"Inherently selfish" is the opposite of what a strike is.

Yeah but remember when he was crying that we had a lockdown during a global pandemic because he couldn't go to the museum. I know who the inherently selfish people are and it certainly isn't the people who want proper working contracts and to be paid enough to feed and clothe their families.

"Give me more money or I'll hold you to ransom" is as selfish as it gets. Thanks for proving my point.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Give 'us' more money and/or better working conditions that are safe and appropriate for everyone or 'we' will withhold our Labour at financial cost to ourselves. It's not selfless, but it's not entirely selfish either. It's for the entire group, but also for yourself. I can think of more selfish things than losing money for the wider cause of working conditions and pay. 

[polymerpunkah]

The couple of times I've gone on strike it's in the full knowledge that if the strike lasts long enough, I won't make up the money I'm losing by going on strike.

 

Unless, of course, I or one of mine ended up needing the eg. extended health benefits for which we were fighting.

 

 

[Section_31]

Most people I know who've been on strike didn't actually want to do it, not even for their own good, they did it in solidarity.

[Bjornebye]

I bet they've all got Iphones and big tellys though. 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Spot the scab…

Hmm,

Tory bastards 

[Captain Turdseye]

Not like Stronts to adopt a position contrary to everyone else.
