I'm sure there's a small number of trade unionists who are making the most out of this but ultimately I will defend the right of people to withdraw their labour as a matter of last resort. but look at the wider context: Mr Grayling hasn't even bothered to meet the unions despite the strikes...
What cliched crap that is. Pay people a reasonable amount of money to live on and treat people with it bit of respect. If companies did that I think you'd find more people wouldn't have to go on strike as a matter of last resort.
