Subject: RE: BS: Starting gun fired: UK General Election
Well, the unions are doing their bit for Labour. BA cabin crew are planning further strikes and now Bob Crow is taking on Network Rail. There will be rail chaos over Easter with further strikes planned at around the same time that Gordo announces the date of the election. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you!! It does make me wonder though - it is always possible that management at BA and Network Rail have chosen their moment to announce job cuts in order to provoke national strikes and damage Labour's chances of re-election. If so, Unite and the rail unions have risen to the bait magnificently....
