After £1m of legal aid to defend Rochdale child groomers, I can't see lots of public sympathy here.

As anticipated ASLEF (train drivers) now going on strike. Will rotate with the RMT I assume. General Strike by early October? Anyone opening a book?

Folk will work from home. Service industry are able to manage without.
BBC currently have "can I refuse to work if it's too hot" guide - folk after furlough not keen to actually do anything.

It seems to be openreach rather than BT, who operate in a much less competitive market
Just so, so encouraging, to see workers and unions, get their mojo back again. High time there was a proletariat led revolution, to wrest control away from the unbridled greed of modern day, bankers, chief executives, board chairmen, hedge fund mobsters, corrupt politicians, etc, etc, etc,.
I for one am more than prepared to put up with the inevitable inconveniences which will arise, from the strikes. May the force be with them, and may they bring many a corrupt corporate board and politician down in the process.
I can’t help but notice the sheer contempt of farmers on here for workers and unions in general. The very same farmers who think nothing if urging the general public, workers and others, to support British farmers, by buying British produced food in Sainsbury‘s etc, and indeed sticking their hands in their pockets, to buy direct from farmers markets and farm shops.
What a shallow lot, people are, when it comes right down to it.

Does this include the people working in their huge call centre in India? Somehow I doubt it.

Well not for one of those two in the photo, the one on the left may suffer slightly after losing his job, no doubt he will get a nice pension though that should see him through.

Postal workers will go on strike. How will I possibly cope without my weekly supply of bank statements (online), electric bills (also online) and bundled junkmail for stairlifts? Only thing I will miss is Private Eye.
Airline refuelling staff to go on strike for the first weekend of the school holls. Way to gain public sympathy.

NHS staff get 4.5% pay rise, teachers 5% and police £1,900 - but unions say it is 'kick in the teeth'
Unions are threatening that their members will strike this autumn if the pay rises are not increased as they say they are real term cuts due to high inflation, which is forecast to reach 11.7% later this year.
