Socialist Worker | Gordon Brown says we must all take a wage cut – but up to 800,000 local government workers are set to walk out over pay. Gordon Brown, chancellor Alistair Darling, and Bank of England governor Mervyn King lined up last week to deliver pious lectures on why workers must accept wage cuts to help stop inflation.

   I advise a more surgical approach, striking is a bit like an AXE attack. First you need to know what is going on and why, and believe me you really need to know FAST. start here: http://video.google.co.uk/videosearch?sitesearch=&q=freedom+to+fascism# Reply | Quote selected text | Link to this

   MP’s took a pay freeze last week how noble, but they forgot to mention that they took an 18% rise on their expenses as well, now the usual expenses bill for an MP is £100,000 a year, 18% means £18,000 rise.. That rise is more than some local authority workers make in a year. If these strikes do not work and the 5% pay demands are not met then all workers will use the indefinite strike plan, this means that the peoples labour is withdrawn until the Goverment either gives in to the justified rise or collapses into the rubbish tip that will be outside the MPs front doors.

   After considering the options, Sabotage would be the best course of action. Don’t strike, just go very slow and do everything wrong. Put files in the wrong place. Add things up wrong, give people extra benefits etc. Put viruses & spy wear in the computer systems and give all the data to the local newspaper on DVD etc. Wipe databases and generally give people far too much back on their tax returns etc. Of course I do not advise anyone to do any of this but it would be far better than loosing pay by striking. Is it your fault if the fire alarm keeps going off? Reply | Quote selected text | Link to this

   Would it be such a bad thing if say the databases just happened to be found by NOTOID ? Reply | Quote selected text | Link to this
