Do you support the RMT?

Funny how the government always wants union leaders to put their crappy offers to the members.

Indeed.

One of the stipulations in our "offer" is the "no strings" part of the offer will be withdrawn of the NEC refuse a referendum.

They’ll be looking at it from all sides and probably thinking they’re doing the best but I’d bet there’s an element of them siding up to the government.

Some union leaders have political ambitions.

One, who's crawling up the pole within the labour party is looking for a safe seat and not agitating as much as his members are demanding to support their sister union despite a huge strike mandate to do so.

So - nowhere near the 350k cancellations the scaremongering Govt claimed it would be

Junior doctor strike led to 196,000 cancellations

Why? Is it not right for Union members or leaders to have ambitions to become and MP in a Party that the Trades Union movement created?

It depends if it’s at the detriment of the members, especially when they continually side with the employer over the members.

But you don't consider it a taboo ambition then? Doesn't seem to bother Tory voters when their MP gets £80k plus expenses plus taking a £100k job on GeeBeeBees News ( the news station that isn't a news station ) and at the same time writes a weekly column for a Tory rag. I assume they are prepared to accept piss poor advocation in the House
