I consider myself 'left-wing'. A title hijacked by protesters unfortunately. However I don't support stikes, especially for public sector workers and I see little point when their are commercial competitors whose success would further undermine the organisation whose workers are striking!
I do not consider the privatisation of Royal Mail as a good thing either. It will force them to cut unprofitable services such as door-to-door deliveries every morning. Especially for rural towns and villages.
So the governments have made mistakes but none which justify the CWU undermining the very organisation they claim to care about and hastening it's demise.
