Anyone using P and O Ferries this summer?

Sniffs of a Murdoch style move from the 80's to break the unions grip , in this case its the RMT's turn, who are also busy on other fronts such as London Tube Strikes.

From The Evening Standard

“These are the very same transport staff praised as heroes for carrying London through Covid for nearly two years, often at serious personal risk, who now have no option but to strike to defend their livelihoods.

“The politicians need to wake up to the fact that transport staff will not pay the price for this cynically engineered crisis.

“In addition to the strike action RMT is co-ordinating a campaign of resistance with colleagues from other unions impacted by this threat.”

Talks at arbitration service Acas that could have seen the strikes postponed broke down last night, because according to the RMT, TfL “confirmed all the union’s worst fears that nothing is off the table in terms of the threat to jobs, pensions, conditions and safety”.

We need this kind of action more than ever. What P&O has done is immoral. RMT is doing the right thing. I won't hold my breath but I hope there is a massive backlash to this but I expect the right-wing to fall in behind the rich, the powerful, and the bosses over the ordinary workers.
