Supreme Court Rules Companies Can Sue Striking Workers for 'Sabotage' and 'Destruction,' Misses Entire Point of Striking

In a new ruling, the Court sided with a company that sued its union for property damage because it went on strike. That sets a precedent that if a union strikes, it has to ensure the company won't lose any money.

Solidarity with all striking workers this week ✊

If you are inconvenienced by industrial action, remember to blame the bosses not the workers. If people had proper pay and working conditions there wouldn’t be a need to strike in the first place.

#StrikingWorkers #strikingworkersarenottheenemy We must support all striking workers. This is a fight for our very survival. The nation needs to down tools en masse and take to the streets. Westminster politicians are all Tories, whether blue, red, yellow or green. They are establishment lackeys concerned with their own interests and enrichment only. The psychopaths in charge will always find enough money for their rich backers and to arm and bomb folk. ENOUGH!
