Strike on Shrove Tuesday - a poem I wrote the other year.

This one goes out to all workers fighting and sacrificing to make things less shit.

Given the number of people who have to vote before a strike can go ahead (a majority of at least 70% of the potential strikers? Does that ring a bell?) ...

... should a similar majority of the electorate not have to agree before OUR MONEY is used to try and break it? #RMTStrike

I support and value ALL of our striking workers. Put people over corporate, and government, greed. It doesn't have to be like this.

Hats off to this Tory bot. Working 2 jobs as a train driver and a nurse. I mean how does he fit all those hours in? 🤷🏻‍♀️

If the govt can afford to allow non doms to avoid tax, and oil companies to hold the country to ransom, we sure as hell can afford to pay public service staff more #nursesstrike #rmtstrike #cwustrike

As climate activists, we fight for a better world. And we need the social infrastructure to support it, staffed by decently paid workers, and not falling apart because of cuts. We #SupportTheStrikes

Opinion polls aren't relevant to Mck Lynch: he isn't a politician. He's only accountable to his members, and his members support him.

So the government scuppered a deal between the RMT and management by inserting ‘driver only trains’ condition for negotiations right at the last minute.

They don’t want the strikes resolved. They want the public inconvenienced for their own political ends.
