Conservative Future Chairman candidate, Dominic McDonough, has made a statement on todays industrial action by public sector workers. He calls the Unions, "bully boys", and wants CF to stand up to them.
"I would like to condemn the strikes that are trying to take Britain back to the dark days of the 1970s. Up and down the country we have seen strikes taking place today while the government still trys to negotiate.
The offer on the table is an offer that anyone in the private sector would kill for. It still gives public sector workers a very generous pension plan while making it more affordable for an already overburdened tax payer.
CF must speak out against these strikes orchestrated by union bully boys desperate to justify their huge wage packets and wanting to push around the government & tax payer.
Is it time for CF to take a more hands on approach to standing up to the unions? Perhaps
Today I have spoken to many people who are on strike, but not because they believe in the cause, many are very happy with the pension plans, but because they have been strong armed by these union leaders who are desperate to strike at all cost."
