Reported to the UN



UK government to be reported to UN over strike law by TUC

The Trades Union Congress (TUC) says it is reporting the UK government to the United Nations watchdog on workers' rights over a new strikes law.

New rules on strikes will require some employees to work during industrial action - or face being sacked.

The TUC said the legislation fell short of international legal standards.

The government said the new rules "protect the lives and livelihoods of the general public" as well as access to public services.


That would be the UN we didn't elect. The same UN which for decades has been promoting futile and destructive climate policies. The UN currently failing to mitigate the effects of the war in Ukraine. The UN which never seems to escape or deal with fraud and abuse scandals.

Yet as the TUC effectively owns a major political party, it probably doesn't have much to worry about.

There's something of the classroom snitch about this. They feel like they are losing a quarrel, so they go crying to teacher. In this case, though, the teacher is an incompetent failure who shouldn't be in the role anyway.

Sam - yes that's it. It's undignified too, but they don't see it.
