British prime minister wants to curb strikes

While 7.5 million people in the UK are on hospital waiting lists the British prime minister is intent in curtailing the rights of working people to strike.

A tired, out of touch Tory government and their right-wing press barons  are  on a daily basis implying that strikers are the enemy of the people.

Teachers, lecturers, nurses, ambulane staff, railway employees are just a few who are on strike or planning to strike.

GMT boss Mick Lynch was on BBC Radio 4 news on Tuesday. He gently and politely corrected an eror the interviewer made. Not s hint of apology from the interviewer. Interesting.

If workers feel they get a fair deal they don’t strike.

Rishi Sunak should realise how best to stop strikes.
