FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda General secretary of the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union, Mark Serwotka, whose union is campaigning for coordinated action in cooperation with Britain’s biggest union Unite, the National Union of Teachers and teaching unions in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland said he is planning to make that happen on a different date than the previously planned March 28 after the National Union of Teachers decided against a national strike in favor of action in London.
“Our view is that you need nationally co-ordinated action to be effective enough when you are taking on the government,” The Guardian quoted Serwotka as saying.
“This isn’t a protest. This is designed to be probably the most significant action that there has been in the public sector for a long, long time,” he added.
The PCS chief further stressed that his union is planning to give the government “different problems and headaches to be thinking about” rather than a one-day strike.
“What we have balloted members on is not a one-day strike. It’s a programme of industrial action,” he said.
“We want the government thinking that this is not just about pre-determined set piece days that they can plan for three months in advance. There is a place for that, but … there will be everything from lightning walkouts, shorter duration strikes and rolling strikes around different parts of the public sector at different times. We will target the action where it is likely to have the most effect,” he added.
Serwotka also criticized the unions, which are now toying with “diplomatic niceties” with the Tory-led government rather than taking direct action to protect their members.
“It is not our job to persuade people to accept defeat. It is our job to try and organise effective campaigning to stop the injustice,” he said.
“So I don’t think [union leaders] should take any lectures from privileged Tories about what they are doing,” he added.
