Possible nurses' strike

[Fambo Number Mive]

According to Nursing Notes RCN members in England and Wales are being balloted for strike action:

The world's largest nursing trade union and professional body is recommending hundreds of its members to support industrial strike action.

It comes after NHS workers were handed yet another below-inflation pay award this year, meaning the average Band 5 nurse is now around £10,000 per year worse off in real terms now than in 2010.

Solidarity with the nurses. With postal workers going on strike ( solidarity with them too) and now nurses being balloted, will we finally see the government step in and give some proper help for the cost of living crisis? Or will the new prime minister, most likely Truss, hope they can distract people with the culture war and their grifter supporters?

Cons and ToryLite when they get in are in big trouble because the economic side of the argument has always rested on their ability to keep various owner-occupier related indexes ticking along, supplemented by debt driven consumer spending, in short, produced by lifting income tax lower thresholds and (very slowly) minimum wage. Effective function could only be maintained by a supply of cheap labour and low costs. That has now ended.

Brexit and war produces a labour shortage and a goods shortage which produces high inflation and high interest rates. This system as it is designed cannot function with those. We are already seeing the government have to plug it with money for it to stagger on. If Labour was doing this they would be crucified.

When enough people are put in the poor house they have nothing left to lose.

People have readily made excuses for voting Tory but those excuses are now running out, and there's no Bozza anymore keeping the dream alive, only shitty Liz Truss, someone who makes Theresa May look like Joan of Arc.

What the nurses,transport workers, university staff, postal workers and everyone else currently affected needs to do is co-ordinate a general strike around a simple communicable message. Enough is enough?

Fucking 'ell, and solidarity.

Getting to the point where the list of people not striking will be shorter.
