Sadly that will not happen for a one day strike.
I wish it were more than for one day, but worker confidence has not returned since the days of the Thatcher Governments that destroyed the power of trades unions.
However, the fact that over 2 million workers, including some who will be striking for the first time, will be out on the streets tomorrow and probably again if the government doesn't negotiate in a meaningful way, is cause for optimism.
I am struck also that I sense a feeling that very many ordinary people who will be affected by tomorrow's action, are showing sympathy and support for the stand being taken.
for Adrian,
I see you reject my offer for compromise.
So be it.
