🗣 'The majority of people who are picketing simply want to be able to afford a roof over their heads and be able to feed their families.'
Despite attempts by certain sections of the media and political class to cast picketing employees as unreasonable agitators, everyday more and more industries are facing disruption.
As Bernard Ingham in his column today says “even barristers go on strike and doctors seem to be in a permanent state of threat”. There is a danger of a ‘wage-price-spiral’ where higher pay itself becomes a cost fuelling inflation. But the majority of people who are picketing simply want to be able to afford a roof over their heads and be able to feed their families.
