Thread Name: BS: Wildcat/Unofficial Strikes in the UK
Subject: BS: Wildcat/Unofficial Strikes in the UK
I support the issue concerning Britsh Jobs for British Workers.

However, what I do not support, is Wildcat or Unofficial Strikes.

This country is already on its knees, and these strikes will only make matters worse.

All I can say, is that the people on strike are lucky to have a job.

Quote fromm BBC News
Wildcat strikes are "not defensible", Gordon Brown has told those angry at the employment of foreign workers.

Hundreds of employees staged unofficial walkouts across the UK over the use of foreign staff at Lincolnshire refinery.

The PM told the BBC's Politics Show he understood workers' fears, but walkouts were "not the right thing to do".

The Tories said they did not back strikes either but said Mr Brown's 2007 "British jobs for British workers" pledge had been exposed as "fiction".

End of quote.

I don't like Gordon Brown to say the least, but I have to put my hands up and support what he says. Of course the Tories agree with him, but have to make cheap snidey comments, that IMHO do not help matters.
