The worm has turned (for now)
Now the teacher union leaders, once lukewarm, have turned around and endorsed a one day strike over pensions - urging members to vote for that option

If someone is being robbed and they have the temerity to shout out "stop thief" it makes no sense to stand around saying "oh dahling that is so seventies."

People are reluctant to take strike action for a number of reasons but now that Sinnott has been elected as leader of the union (I voted for Martin Powell-Davies) and now he is calling for action it is best to take him at his word.

Union leaders do not have to be "soft on Blair and soft on the causes of Blair". Let's see how far we can push them. It is an election year. Do that New Labour canaille want a massive public sector strike or do they want to stop bullying and start being sensible?
