I've had it up to here with Unite over the bin strikes.

I see they’ve moved on to “abhorrent” in their analysis of Rayner’s performance.

Deployment of "neoliberal" and "red Tory" can only be hours away.

Add them to the list of people who think the only political battle that matters is the Left v “Starmer centrists”. The Tories and Farage are laughing their socks off.

Nice to see Unite standing up for working people.

Unite’s failure to act over bullying and victimisation allegations is ‘unacceptable’ and GMB members have ‘quite simply had enough’.
GMB Union members working in Unite the Union's National Bargaining and Disputes Support Unit (BDSU) have voted to strike over 'bullying and victimisation' from management.



A group of workers will now walk out for four days of strike action, from Tuesday 3 to Friday 6 December, after Unite failed to investigate and take action following complaints that some managers in the BDSU bullied staff and victimised those who spoke out.



The ballot, which opened on 8 November and closed today [Monday], resulted in 83% of the members who participated backing strike action.



Despite attempts by GMB to resolve this dispute, Unite has been unwilling to address the members’ concerns or take any meaningful action.

And meanwhile, a city of 1.2 million people has rubbish on the streets in the middle of a heatwave.

Rayner's fault.

Meanwhile, there is a shortage of butlers.



Thanks a lot Labour,

[Yug]

Er, if demand has fallen, doesn't this imply that there is a surplus of butlers, not a shortage?

Demand goes up. Not enough trained staff - shortage.
Demand goes down. Job market flooded with trained staff who can't get jobs - surplus.

[Youngian]

The care sector has a shortage of butler type jobs. But much harder and poorly paid.
