‘Militant’ Trade unions accused of using strikes to paralyse UK

Railway strikes by “militant”Trade unions could paralyse the United Kingdom due to disputes over worker’s pay.

Last-minute attempts to prevent major strikes by rail workers in Britain failed. Trade unions are now saying that strike action will take place on Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday. London Underground workers are also scheduled to strike Tuesday.

The UK is struggling to cope with rising living costs due to inflation, and it looks like the UK will surpass the ten percent mark in this year’s inflation.

A report from The TelegraphNow, the UK government is accusing “militant trade unions”The left-leaning hard right is using the current crisis to force ordinary Britons into mass strikes. In fact, one minister accused worker groups of trying to bribe their members into putting down tools.

“It’s obvious that trade union chiefs have been quietly amassing a war chest to effectively bribe workers into unleashing a summer of strike chaos,” said UK Business tsar Kwasi Kwarteng ahead of next week’s transport strikes, with the publication noting that one union is offering £70 ($86) a day to its members to strike.

Meanwhile, the country’s Transport Secretary, Grant Shapps, has condemned the rail strikes as being something that would only make things worse for people reliant on the transport services who are already struggling with the current crisis.

“By carrying out this action the [trade union] is punishing millions of innocent people, instead of calmly discussing the sensible and necessary reforms we need to make in order to protect our rail network,” Shapps reportedly said, urging the Rail, Maritime and Transport union at the centre of the strike to back down.

Unions have hit back at accusations, however, with RMT head Mick Lynch claiming that Conservative party politicians were preventing a deal from being done to avert strike action, with the union calling for workers to receive a “fair” pay rise.

Meanwhile, far-left activists have made hay while the strikes shine. Communist organisations took to the streets Saturday to press for greater government control. “class struggle“, and to “make the rich pay”.

Seemingly in the hopes of achieving this aim, one group — the Young Communist League of Britain — chantedWhile marching down and up the streets of London, Ho Chi Minh and Joseph Stalin’s names were called out.

This isn’t to suggest that everyone who demonstrated against the cost of living on Saturday was a card-carrying communist. Many ordinary people are still struggling to survive in this age of inflation.

People are looking for food banks all over Britain. In fact, one charity has seen an 85% increase in their demand.

“…I think we’re seeing, you know, real food poverty for the first time in a generation,” the head of one major supermarket chain in the country previously said regarding the crisis, which he said was starting to seriously affect some of the people shopping at his stores.

“I was in some stores on Friday and I was hearing for the first time for many years of customers saying to checkout staff ‘Stop when you get to £40, I don’t want to spend a penny over that’,”He said the same thing. “I think that many of them are struggling to both be able to heat their homes and to feed their families.”
