NuLab is no friend of workers in our country. If you are in any doubt witness their reaction to the BA strike. Lord Adonis says the British Airways strike is ‘deplorable’, and Gordon Brown says the British Airways strike is ‘deplorable’. Adonis calls the walkouts ‘totally unjustified’, but Brown holds back and simply designates them‘unjustified’.
Unite the Union which represents most of the BA strikers donated 11m to Labour over the last three years. They don't seem to be getting much in the way of support for that amount of money, indeed they are getting condemned!
BA strikers have a good case. Read more about it at the dedicated Unite web page. Victory to the strikers!

Unite has handed over nearly £18 Million to the Labour Party. Various other unions give money to Labour as well.
Unison - Britain's biggest public sector trade union – has given £8.1 Million. The GMB has given £6.2 Million. The shop workers’ union, USDAW, has given £5.2 Million. The main postal workers union, the Communication Workers Union (CWU) has handed over £2.6 Million. And the much smaller TSSA - Transport Salaried Staffs' Association – has financed Labour to the tune of £242,000.
All in all, since mid 2005, these unions have handed over more that £74 Million. But even with all this money going towards Labour, the workers still get shafted.
However, I think things will be even worse if David Cameron and the Tories – aka Lord Snooty and his Pals – get in.
