He is not the only one who would like to bring this heartless shower down.

However I disagree with strikes for striking sake and there were likely plenty Conservatives supporters cheering the Unions on when they brought down the Labour govt. in 1979.

What mystifies me is that some criticism is not levelled equally at the other side.
I can fully understand the Crown Post office workers grievance but not the time they chose to strike.
As to the rail network particularly where it is hitting now, those who run that are greedy and wasteful, they have not done a thing about the problems,which were there long before strike action, or get forced to do so either by the govt.

I would have agreed with the Thatcher govts Union changes,however there are responsible Unions who do their very best for the workers under their care.
So to likely brand all Unions as bad is ridiculous.
As is moaning at the Unions financing Labour too, of course they do, there would not have been a Labour party without the Unions and while that may infuriate the extreme hardline Conservative MPs and any hardline Conservative supporters, who would probably like to see the Unions done away with completely.
Hopefully that will never happen.

Unions bankroll Labour and big businesses and the rich bankroll the Conservatives, odd how few Conservatives seem to choose to moan at that however.

Employers and Unions and workers, all need to work together, sadly what is happening along with other undesirable prejudices across parts of the UK now, is also intolerance and no will to compromise any more.

Easy to attack Unions and strikers when they take action,just as it is easy to only and strongly dismiss any grievances workers may genuinely have from a hardline view anyone may hold.
While ignoring the failures of both govt. and Employers and those entrusted with providing good, safe and efficient services..
