Strikes are now just plain extortion

[garthu]

So the threats are really going round today. My kids at a private school closed on Monday for fears of possible reprisals!

Today we are phoning the school to find out if we need to get our kids as the strikes have taken to intimidating as many schools as they can.

Lets not call this intimidation, or striking, or a fair cause. Its now just plain extortion - a jail-able offence. These are the same people now "employed" by the unions to take the action out there. Why are the leaders of the unions now not behind bars for extortion. Deniabilty, where does that become fair... if our accountant stuffs up, we don't pay tax, we go to jail, not the accountant.

I think its time that government put unions in there place... the leadres MUST be held accountable for everyone of there individual statements and leadership.
