He's clear why they're striking and what his members have done / achieved and isn't getting drawn into arguments. Even if you don't agree with him and the union he's coming across as the perfect person to represent them, although opposition will probably start trying to paint him as arrogant, rather than knowledgeable. I know I’m biased but the whole media landscape is set up against unions. Look at the language used. “Union Barons” forgetting that barons are unelected but union leaders are elected by members. Unions make “Demands” where as bosses make “Offers”. Strikes are “Disruptive” and “Selfish” instead of being an absolute last resort after not being heard.  Big Mick was on The Jeremy Vine Show earlier (Yeah I know) and Carole Malone (Yeah I know) was banging on about the average wage of the members. Mick corrected her and she came out with some shite about how he was including cleaners in that average so that takes the average down. The cherry picking around the wage average is disingenuous as well, most drivers aren’t members of RMT, they’re ASLEF.  EDIT - Was typing as @johnnyboyposted!

With the majority they have nothing needs to be 'sneaked' through. Hopefully it gets ripped apart in the HoL obvs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Mick Lynch is on Question Time tonight. Also on is Brexit Party Bellend Ben Habib who this week came up with the ingenious plan to have Rwandan ships patrol the channel and take those crossing on dinghies straight to Rwanda. A landlocked country with no navy or ships registered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
