I've always respected the European style of strike--not the fight-to-the-death, close-everything-until-there's-a-deal approach we have in the US, but rather a gradual escalation of pressure that allows both parties to remain fairly intact.
Good luck on this one, Cotty!
Thanks Rick. yeah, it's starting slow, but we have a general election coming up (May 5th), and I have a little hint that the BBC - also bubbling for industrial action over job losses - maybe in the firing line as well. Same union there as us.
You're not the only one. All the public sector unions are ganging up to have a one-day-all-out in the near future. The UNISON one-day recently was "cancelled" but only so that all the others can get on board. Let's see the bunch of weasels worm their way out of this one.....
Cheers, Cotty
