Re: Summer-Autumn of discontent
Get agency/temp staff in to cover them whilst they're refusing to work (if skilled enough/possible) and leave them to it...

Not many temps with a three years qualifying law degree, and a one year’s Bar course and a one-year pupillage, then a year or two’s practical experience…

Well, not possible in all cases (pun not intended), but there will be in some jobs, and maybe some people who aren't currently working for whatever reason who have left such professions and could come back on a temp basis.
In principle i was really thinking about people working on the docks than barristers..

Who decides what "their labour is worth" ?

The market, collective bargaining, or a combination of the two.

and/or the public getting irate and wondering why public services aren't being delivered any longer , and bringing our elected representatives to account.
Losing votes is when it really gets serious.

I can’t see her fighting the next election, it depends totally on the economy. If she can possibly narrow the gap to Labour, it will be Starmer under pressure.

This looks like a significant development - a return to lashings of ginger ale and sarnies at No 10? BoJo can probably recommend some good caterers.

Rishi Sunak proposes talks with UK union leaders in effort to halt strikes
Prime minister calls meetings for Monday to discuss pay settlements amid wave of industrial action
Rishi Sunak has invited Britain’s trade union leaders to talks on Monday in an attempt to find a solution to the wave of disruptive strikes across the UK.
The prime minister said that government departments had written to relevant unions inviting them for talks.
Workers including nurses, postal staff and train drivers have been taking industrial action to demand higher pay amid the cost of living crisis.
Ambulance workers and nurses are due to strike again this month, and the government’s problems could soon be compounded by further walkouts affecting the NHS.
The British Medical Association said on Friday that junior doctors would stage a 72 hour walkout in March, in which they would not provide emergency cover, if strikes were endorsed in a ballot that opens on Monday.
Meanwhile ballots of teachers will conclude next week, with strikes affecting schools possible from the end of the month.
Strikes are also spreading across the civil service, with Unison organising a one-day walkout on January 18 by staff at the Environment Agency, including those who maintain flood defences.

Re: Summer-Autumn of discontent
Yay, beer and sandwiches. Trade Union leaders love that trope almost as much as they like being called barons.
