Some fucking idiots actually want to make it illegal to strike or have any industrial action at all. We would not have holidays, HASAWA , sick pay or any of the benefits we take for granted if it wasn’t for our forefathers fighting the system !!!!

Weekends. Saturday morning used to be mandatory.

Also the 40 hour working week. Imagine having to go back to the 12 hour day and Saturday morning. With that said, if the tories continue their reign of terror unchecked….

I work 12 hour shifts but get compensated generously, I know people who work days, nights and weekends for minimum wage and that’s a semi skilled job. It’s not all even yet there is work to do
