Dropping in on the conference today…

Y’day, Congress agreed to complain to the UN about the UK government’s anti-strike legislation.

A reminder that union-busting, by employers or gov’ts, including restricting the right to , is stupid as well as spiteful… the industrial relations equivalent of disconnecting smoke alarms to reduce pressure on the fire service.

Not to mention: "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution
inevitable."

The has voted for a non-compliance motion on anti-strike laws (specifically minimum service requirements).

Sometimes the is maintained by not complying with unjust laws - maintaining through that the idea of the rule of law is being violated by unjust laws themselves, which those protesting such injustice should break.

This political manoeuvre has a long pedigree, from movements across history;
can the TUC can tap into that history?

Rightly the suggests a 'modest' and clearly focussed would give a significant fiscal boost to ... we need to (re?)establish fairness in in the UK as a way of rebuilding society both financially and morally....

The TUC have as yet not 'recommended' this change, but the very act of pointing out what it would entail ratchets up the pressure on the Labour Party to be thinking about such things!

If I were one of the “unemployed over-50s” of whom he speaks, I’d be saying, “Hey Mel… when you get on your bike, put a silly bag on your bag and ride around for hours for less than minimum wage, then maybe I’ll think about it.”
