Chancellor George Osborne is reported to be "furious" about the unions deliberate attempt to cause chaos at the London Olympic games and has called for new legislation to stop, or at least make it much more difficult for the union barons to call for strike action.
Without doubt the strike on July 26 has been arranged at a time to cause as much disruption as possible when visitors, officials and competitors flood into Heathrow just twenty-four hours before the opening ceremony.
The Daily Mail also reports that Osborne "is now pushing for immediate legislation to impose a minimum turnout, possibly 40 per cent, on strike ballots in order to protect the economy.
The law, which could be introduced as early as September, would prevent union barons calling damaging strikes without the support of most ordinary members."
With only 20% of membership taking part and in this particular instance, 57% of that 20% voted to strike, it really does put the spotlight on the small left-wing militant minority that are holding this nation to ransom yet again. And this time threatening our international reputation.
