Yes, We Want To Get Rid Of The Tories!

Posted in Tubeworker's blog on ,

On the day when Donald Trump misspelt "unprecedented" and had thousands of Twitter users telling him that they wished he would be #unpresidented, the RMT president Sean Hoyle was under attack from the Tory press for saying the unions should campaign to get rid of the Tories.

We say he is right. We should try and get rid of the Tory government.

All the attacks on the Tube and across the transport industry come from the Tory government. The unions fight back against each threat as it arises, but if we don't fight back against the source of these attack when will they stop?

Unions need to unite and coordinate action as often as possible. Having one union in the transport industry, representing all grades, would go along way to achieving that.

Amusingly, the Tories are saying that Labour should condemn us for trying to bring them down. We hope Labour wants to bring the Tories down too!

The RMT general secretary Mick Cash's support for the president's view on the Tories was somewhat muted when he was asked about the issue on BBC News. We can see he wants to keep the focus on the specific issues of the current industrial disputes, but the bigger picture is important too.
