TUC get off your knees

The surge in union membership should impel the TUC to get off its knees and sort out this Eton mess of a government.

 I have already mentioned 10,000 people joining the NEU in a week. The abject failure of the government to provide PPE even for front line NHS staff means the Tories have blood on their hands (not for the first or last time). They cheerfully threw 100 NHS staff under the bus. The TUC should be burning with rage and taking this government warmly by the throat.

If there is power in unions (and there is) it needs to be used. It needs to be demonstrated. No more pussyfooting around.

PS The discrepancy in the figures is explained by a decline in male union membership being offset by more female members - in fact, more than offset.
